California's Assembly passed AB 1921, the Protect Our Games Act, 43-16, advancing the Stop Killing Games effort to require publishers to keep games playable after servers shut down (via offline access or refunds); it moves to the Senate amid industry concerns from the ESA about higher costs and reduced innovation.
California Assembly passed AB 1921, the so-called Protect Our Games Act, which would require publishers to give a 60-day notice before sunsetting a game and to maintain some form of access for purchased titles (free-to-play games are exempt); if the bill clears the Senate, it would apply to games released or resold after January 1, 2027. The measure, a major win for the Stop Killing Games movement led by Accursed Farms’ Scott Ross, reflects growing scrutiny of live-service practices in gaming on both sides of the Atlantic.
