Andy has been gaming on PCs from the very beginning, starting as a youngster with text adventures and primitive action games on a cassette-based TRS80.
A new California law set to come into effect in 2025 will make it illegal for sellers to use terms like"buy" or"purchase" in relation to digital goods—movies, books, and of course videogames—unless they provide a"clear and conspicuous" warning to consumers that those goods could be taken away from them at any time.
That last point is the one most meaningful to gamers. The presence of a warning label is all well and good, but it still leaves open the possibility that a game with an online component can be yoinked away at any time with no real recourse for those who paid for them. The presence of a proper offline mode, on the other hand, means we can keep on playing even after the remote servers are taken offline, which is a far better outcome than simply being told,"Hey, you were warned.
Never one to miss an opportunity to remind gamers of its raison d’être, digital storefront GOG waded in to"clarify" its position on the matter.
