Stop Killing Games-backed California bill targeting online game shutdowns "isn't going to be an easy thing" to enforce, says the politician behind it
California Assemblymember Chris Ward acknowledges that enforcing a new bill aimed at protecting consumers from game server shutdowns will be challenging. The proposed legislation would require publishers to offer refunds or playable offline versions of games when servers are closed. Ward hopes the bill, if passed, will influence practices nationwide, similar to the 'California Effect' seen with other consumer protection laws.
