I'm not a legislator, so I don't know what enforcement mechanisms should be. But what I do know is that anything that eliminates this blatant theft from consumers would be a good thing.
Sadly, you likely signed off on the EULA that you only own a temporary license and that you wave rights to that under certain circumstances and everything else that means you don't actually own a copy of the game in perpetuity. which means it's not actually theft.
But this is why I buy DRM free stuff from places like GoG and back it up myself. (and don't often buy AAA games, or games with anti-cheat)
I don't care what a EULA said, it's still theft. If I signed away my right to be compensated for my labor, it's still slavery.
