Un projet de loi californien visant à préserver l'accès aux jeux en ligne progresse

Une proposition de loi exigeant que les éditeurs de jeux proposent des remboursements ou des correctifs jouables pour les titres en ligne pris en charge a franchi une étape importante devant une commission de l'Assemblée de l'État. La mesure, connue sous le nom de Protect Our Games Act, s'appliquerait aux jeux sortis le ou après le 1er janvier 2027.

Le membre de l'Assemblée Chris Ward a présenté le projet de loi en février 2026. Il a progressé à travers la commission de la protection de la vie privée et des consommateurs, la commission judiciaire et la commission des crédits, où il a été adopté par 11 voix contre 2 le 14 mai. Le projet de loi est désormais soumis à un vote en séance plénière de l'Assemblée.
