Mexico Moves to Force Digital Storefronts to Disclose License Terms

Senator Luis Donaldo Colosio Riojas and deputy Iraís Reyes proposed a consumer-rights initiative requiring digital storefronts to disclose at purchase that buyers get a license, not ownership, preserve access to games after servers shut down, and keep a local Mexican address for disputes. The proposal has not been enacted.

• Stores must state at purchase that buyers get a license, not the product
• Proposal would preserve game access after official servers shut down
• Digital sellers would need a local Mexican address for consumer disputes
• Initiative follows an antitrust complaint against Sony over its 2028 disc phase-out
