US Rep Announces Congressional Legislation to Protect Video Game Ownership

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

For some games, like MMORPGs, an offline mode doesn't make sense.

In lieu of that, they need to make the server binaries available, along with client functionality to let you choose a server. They shouldn't be required to offer support, but the nerd community is great at figuring things out. They'll get it working and produce guides.

I like this but why stop at Video Games?

I'm glad they're spending time and effort on issues important to everyday Americans' problems.
