California bill pushing to keep games playable after server shutdowns "doesn't reflect how games actually work", ESA assert

Earlier this month, Stop Killing Games, the campaign group seeking to prevent online games being rendered unplayable when publishers shut down their servers, threw their support behind a Californian bill aiming to put a requirement that studios either take action to keep games running after server shutterings or provide full refunds into law. As said bill - dubbed AB 1921 - continues to meander through the lawmaking process, the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) have come out in opposition of it, arguing the proposal "doesn't reflect how games actually work today".
