El propietario de E3 se opone a un proyecto de ley de California sobre la protección de servicios de juegos

La Entertainment Software Association se ha manifestado en contra de una propuesta de ley de protección al consumidor en California que exigiría a las compañías de videojuegos ofrecer versiones fuera de línea, parches o reembolsos cuando finalicen los servicios en línea.

El proyecto de ley, conocido como AB 1921, sigue pendiente de audiencias y votaciones y aún no ha entrado en vigor. Exigiría un aviso con 60 días de antelación antes de que los servicios en línea cesen para los juegos digitales, junto con opciones para continuar jugando o compensaciones para los compradores.
