A new bill says if you buy a game, you should actually own it.

Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) introduced the Power to the Players Act, which directs the FTC to make game purchases count as ownership, not a license, so games stay playable after a company moves on. He points to NBA 2K25, which launched in September 2025 and goes unplayable December 31 when its servers shut down. "If you pay for it, you own it," he told Kotaku.
