Kalifornische Abgeordnetenkammer verabschiedet Protect Our Games Act

Die California State Assembly hat den Protect Our Games Act mit 43 zu 16 Stimmen verabschiedet. Der Gesetzentwurf befasst sich mit den Verbraucherrechten bei Videospielen, wie sie von der „Stop Killing Games“-Bewegung gefordert werden.

Die Gesetzgebung, bekannt als AB 1921, verpflichtet Videospielunternehmen dazu, Spieler vor der Abschaltung serverabhängiger Spiele rechtzeitig zu informieren. Zudem schreibt sie Optionen vor, um gekaufte Spiele auch nach der Abschaltung spielbar zu halten, etwa durch Offline-Zugang oder Community-Server.
