Limitation of gameplay
Chinese people under the age of 18 can now only play for three hours a week...
Chinese children have the same problems with video game addiction as "Western" children. In order to mitigate the problem somehow, the authorities decided in 2019 to regulate the matter legally. They stipulated that children under the age of 18 can play for a maximum of 90 minutes per day and up to three hours on holidays.
The law apparently did not bring the desired effects, so they decided to toughen up the matter. A few days ago, a decree came into effect according to which children under the age of 18 can only play on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, from 8pm to 9pm. In order to somehow try to prevent "bypasses", online game providers must ensure that only registered users can play, and they must register with their real name and not a pseudonym.
