China has made it illegal for children under 18 to play video games from Mon-Thurs and a limited time from Fri-Sun. RIP esports

RIP esports

china is such a huge market too

....well then

oh dear

is that any video game or just online ones?

Somehow I don't see this going as they intended

kinda wondering what limits and restrictions they keep placing on the populace will be the final straw

Any video game/mobile game/VR game and so on

They can play for 3 hours total through Fri, Sat and Sun.

There used to be a limit of 1.5 hours a day. But they're making it more strict I guess

wow

For mobile games, there's a login that requires your ID # which children also have

So I'm wondering if it will be enforced from ID s. But hopefully they will just allow it to be parental discretion

that'll be interesting to follow. is that immediate or do they give a time frame to be ready for it starting?

Starts tomorrow

I saw that, holy shit.

like I'm down with the putting restrictions on how much money minors can shell out for in-game purchases - honestly I think that shit should have limitations for everyone. but in total play time that severe? yikes!!
