'When those games are sold only digitally, they give developers and
platform owners vastly more power over how they are played. It means
that players are unable to buy or sell games second-hand, for instance,
as well as allowing developers to cut off support.
Ritchie Torres, the Congressman who proposed the new law, pointed
specifically to the example of NBA 2K25, which sold for as much as $100
and will have its online servers shut down on 31 December, only two
years after it was released. “No consumer should have a game they paid
for pulled out from under them on a company’s arbitrary timeline,” his office said.'
