About: ensure minimum server maintenance and transparency for digital games

Kim Kataguiri: We had this controversy recently in the world of games, of companies ending physical media.

Kim Kataguiri: So the bill establishes a minimum period of 2 years for server maintenance, patches, regular bug and error fixes, and requires a 180-day prior notice before that server is shut down and the user loses access to that game.
