China imposes video game curfew for minors

The latest move to curb video game addiction also includes spending limits on gaming accounts.

Fist4achin1651d ago

Hey, Blizzard's biggest customer base that they support taking away more freedoms.

Instead of a government stepping in, shouldn't the parents/guardians be the one to control that?!

TK-661651d ago

Yeah, fuck the government. Unless its about MT's. Then we grab the lube and spread them cheeks...

Juusterey1651d ago

yeah
We should be all hate or all love
forget ever thinking the other way

Juusterey1651d ago

yeah
they should
but they don't

Man I’m glad I live in the U.S of A 🦅

annoyedgamer1650d ago

Don't be so glad. I wouldnt be suprised to see similar bans enacted here. The state always moves to grab more power.

2pacalypsenow1650d ago (Edited 1650d ago )

I doubt the United States will ever get to that, if it does, well have a civil war and gaming will be the least of our worries.

Smokehouse1650d ago

Our generation doesn’t even know what that means. The people of Hong Kong know more about it. The USSA has a decade left before these idiots turn our country into China. They think centralized authoritarian power is something new and progressive. Like that hasn’t been done since we started recording history.

CaptainObvious8781650d ago

You think this Orwellian nightmare isn't eventually coming to the US?

You haven't noticed the heavy censorship from the Silicon Valley tech giants?

princejb1341650d ago

maybe ill actually have a chance now against these chinese players in mobas cause dam their really good

Relientk771650d ago

Wow, I'm glad I'm not a gamer there. That's ridiculous.

Bleucrunch1650d ago

This is cross the line on so many levels....WOW! Now the government tells you when you can or cannot play video games??

shadowraiserx1650d ago

Games with abusive microtransacions, yeah. I dont see anything wrong with those type of games. If you are gamer you probably have 2 or 3 games to play per month.

A Matter Of Trust: What The Game Industry Should Do To Win Gamers Back

Skewed and Reviewed have written an Opinion Piece covering issues in the gaming industry, how current issues were issues years ago, and what can be done to help restore consumer trust.

anast4d ago

Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.

Garethvk3d ago

How do you know if you agree with it or not unless you play it? Which without conventions forces gamers to rely on trailers. Perhaps Demos should be made more frequently. But companies need to do better as well.

anast3d ago

Wait until release. Watch Gameplay. Exercise patience.

Garethvk3d ago

But is that not what they have now? Tons of gameplay or are you talking about watching actual gamers play it versus the trailers and streams? The big issue is that some companies pay streamers and influencers and they create content but for me; that is hardly a fair, unbiased, and factual look at a game.

1nsomniac4d ago

Get rid of the suits in the industry and job done!!

Garethvk3d ago

They usually are attached to the money sadly. It would be nice to have gamers in charge but you have so much money invested that business people are needed. Hence the issue; you need people who know business but are also gamers who know have an eye to the community. It sounds simple in theory that if you give gamers quality games that they want to play; money will be made. But that is not always so.
