From Interfax:



Chinese players of the “World of Warcraft” online game have begun an Internet signature campaign protesting Chinese government plans to limit the country’s online gamers to three hours of consecutive playtime.

“These restrictions violate the rights of online game players,” one Chinese player wrote on the petition. “Trying to prevent young players from being addicted is good, but this new system will be a total failure.”

As of August 29, more than 1,000 Chinese gamers had signed the petition opposing implementation of the new time limits.
