I am an addiction therapist for online addiction in germany and I have to say, that the coming policy in China (1h on weekdays and just 2h on weekend days) makes me jealous. Of cause people in china will go around it in some ways, but it would be a big hit to reduce the consumption.
It just happened today that the policy is tightened as 8-9 pm on Friday, weekends, and holidays. In my opinion it is absurd. Kids won’t read books or play sports because of online games are banned, they will simply go watch junk videos or find other ways to kill time.
i dont think it can significantly affect the game industry in China. It only restricts minors from online games, but minors only contribute 3% of tencent's revenue.
There is no way to circumvent the restrictions unless your parents are in for it. You need to take a picture with your ID. Also I think similar restrictions exists for video platforms similar to UA-cam (so either twiddle with your thumbs or go outside!) XD
Screw tencent. All they do is buy games, make a clone of the game for Chinese audiences and monetize it. That's why some former tencent devs left and are making wukong black myth.
Chinese government also trying to ban soda/sugary drinks in public school, plus this one hour screen time, maybe the kids will finally go outside, and they will be able to save some health care money for their future generation? heard their chubby kids problem is getting out of control too...
I don't know about video game regulation, but they definitely need regulation for soda and sugary foods, a lot of uneducated Chinese parents love their kids to be chubby and obese, they think it's cute and a sign of wealth, so they cram their kids with sugary foods and carp. You see a lot of those on Chinese TikTok. I bet a lot of those kids will grow up hating their parents.
Tencent feels like a monopoly. They keep acquiring large gaming companies to the point they're too big. Then, there are more companies on their watch list. Monopoly is not a good move in business tbh.
Good, when companies get too big, governments should step in. Or you will have companies like Amazon, Google, Facebook and Twitter, they became too big to control and start dictating government policies.
