Avanza proyecto de ley en California para preservar el acceso a videojuegos en línea

Una propuesta de ley que exige a los editores de videojuegos ofrecer reembolsos o parches jugables para títulos en línea con soporte ha superado un obstáculo importante en el comité de la Asamblea estatal. La medida, conocida como la Ley Protect Our Games, se aplicaría a los juegos lanzados a partir del 1 de enero de 2027.

El asambleísta Chris Ward presentó el proyecto de ley en febrero de 2026. Este avanzó a través del Comité de Privacidad y Protección al Consumidor, el Comité Judicial y el Comité de Asignaciones, donde fue aprobado con una votación de 11 a 2 el 14 de mayo. La legislación ahora se dirige a una votación en el pleno de la Asamblea.
