From vnunet.com: Developers redesigning games to satisfy new regulations on playing time and age restrictions.
Online gaming operators in China are racing to rewrite their software in preparation for stringent new regulations, according to an industry analyst.
“The companies are looking at changing the game model to help the players reduce playing time,” said Jim Sun, an internet and telecoms research analyst with Evolution Securities in Shanghai.
The new regulations, which include tight limits on playing time and a ban on underage players in violent games, were announced earlier this year, and the government plans to begin full enforcement early next year.
