Proceeding contribution from Manuela Perteghella (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 3 November 2025. It occurred during e-petition debate on Video Games: Consumer Law.


Video Games: Consumer Law

In my constituency, as in many other areas, increasingly residents are finding that the video games that they thought they owned simply stop working when the online support ends, or that ownership is limited by the terms and conditions of the licence, which is deeply frustrating for consumers who have paid money in good faith. Does the hon. Member agree that the Government should ensure that existing consumer protections keep pace with these changes, so that people are not left out of pocket when the digital services that they rely on are switched off, often without warning?
