China People Reaction 

A Step Too Far?

While it appears that the move to limit underage gamers has good intentions behind it, many are concerned that the Chinese government is taking things a step too far. Even though the laws apply to children, such strict curfews are always a slippery slope. Perhaps that’s why they are a staple of dystopian literature and film.

After all, what would stand in the way of the government expanding the regulations to players of all ages? What if it was applied to the usage of the general Internet rather than just online gaming?

Infringing on the autonomy of citizens is nothing new for Communist governments. However, it’s been a long time since we’ve seen such a blatant ban put into place.

Meanwhile, many worry that the move will hurt the gaming industry. China falls second to the United States as the biggest video game economy in the world. If players are hindered from accessing games, that could soon show up in the bottom line of developers worldwide.

For young Chinese gamers, it’s a sad day. For the rest of us, it’s time to keep an eye on this regulation that has the potential to reshape the video game industry.
