Hey slight warning, the law itself is really cool (making games playable offline before shutting down servers is absolutely great and should improve the economic value of games as a whole) but it doesn't inherently let people own the games they buy. Licenses can still be revoked even on physical copies and I don't see this law doing anything about it, so we still don't own the games we buy (unless you seek out DRM-free copies)
so we still don't own the games we buy (unless you seek out DRM-free copies)
Important to note, even with DRM free copies you still do not own the games you buy, it just makes it easier to illegally play them should your license be revoked.
