纽约州众议员里奇·托雷斯提出《玩家权力法案》,该法案要求消费者购买视频游戏时获得所有权而非许可证1。根据这一提议,具有在线功能的游戏在发行商停止支持前必须提供离线模式或保持游戏可用性1。此外,美国联邦贸易委员会(FTC)将被指示建立相关规定来执行这些要求1。
这一立法举措旨在解决游戏服务器关闭导致已购游戏无法使用的问题1。2024年《飙速车手:竞速传说》(The Crew)关服事件引发了"停止杀死游戏"运动,而NBA 2K25在发行仅两年后也被下架并关闭服务器1。纽约州的这项举措跟进了宾夕法尼亚州的类似立法。宾州参议员约翰·凯恩推出《保护我们的游戏法案》,要求发行商提供离线模式、社区服务器或提供25%的最低退款1。
New York State Assemblymember Rich Torres has introduced the Players' Bill of Rights, legislation designed to ensure consumers own the games they purchase rather than merely licensing them.1 The proposed bill mandates that games featuring online functionality must provide offline modes before servers are shut down, or alternatively, developers must maintain game availability to prevent already-purchased titles from becoming unplayable.1
Under the legislation, the Federal Trade Commission would be directed to establish regulations enforcing these ownership protections.1 The measure builds on recent similar efforts, including Pennsylvania State Senator John Kane's Protecting Our Games Act, which requires publishers to offer offline modes, community servers, or issue refunds of at least 25 percent of the purchase price.1 These initiatives respond to high-profile incidents such as the 2024 shutdown of The Crew, which rendered purchased copies unplayable and sparked the "Stop Killing Games" movement, as well as the removal and server closure of NBA 2K25 just two years after release.1
