Comment on US Rep proposes bill to give video game buyers "ownership," not "a license"

Why this bill makes no sense

The game, which retailed for $69.99 for the standard edition and $99.99 for the All-Star Edition, will be delisted from digital storefronts on October 30 and will have its online servers shut down on December 31, only two years after its initial release.

Games with online functionality would also be required to provide an offline mode before the servers supporting them are shut down.

NBA games have an offline mode, so they are protected by this bill.
