11 mai 2026

Rapporté par l'IA

L'Entertainment Software Association s'est prononcée contre un projet de loi de protection des consommateurs en Californie, qui obligerait les éditeurs de jeux vidéo à proposer des versions hors ligne, des correctifs ou des remboursements en cas d'arrêt des services en ligne.

Le projet de loi, connu sous le nom d'AB 1921, est en attente d'audiences et de votes et n'est pas encore entré en vigueur. Il imposerait un préavis de 60 jours avant la fin des services en ligne pour les jeux numériques, ainsi que des options permettant de continuer à jouer ou d'obtenir une compensation pour les acheteurs.
