The authorities in #China have today announced that for, anyone under 18 years old, they're to be limited to playing online games to only 3 hours a week! Plus only these 3 hours: 8 til 9 pm on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. There will be Chinese teenagers flipping out right now!

Wow. It's not just three-hours-per-week. It's specific three hours.

  1. RIP servers
  2. Makes it easy to avoid Chinese kids on international servers I guess.

Bonus: With any luck this radicalizes a bunch of kids against the CCP.

One of the few good things about the internet is that nobody goes to the library any more.

While this is bullshit coming from the government, they are used to such things in China. I wouldn't mind if more parents would do it with their kids in the USA though.

Well, here's something for the eggheads to study - do minimum age laws have an effect on creating bingers vs habituals? That is to say, the difference between being raised to learn how to discipline and limit yourself, and having limits imposed on you.

taking responsibility for your decisions, your life is a trait usually taught by a father or father figure. It's a mostly masculine trait (personal responsibility). To promote this in your society it's critical to promote families with a mother and father present throughout the teen years of development.

You can see this most directly in the pre and post single mother welfare situation in the black community of the USA: 1950s v. 1970s and onward.

That ought to help with a lot of the rampant cheating in multiplayer games on West Coast servers then. Good riddance.

Quota? So everyone has to play at least 3 hours? I thought the CCP had already cornered gold farming.

"The authorities" isn't exactly covering every single province of China. I doubt this is going to be enforced in any serious way, just as a guideline for parents.

This will probably end up being selectively enforced much like many (if not most) laws in china

Only under-18 are subject to the limit. The training/replacements for the teams may be haphazard, but existing players are probably alright.
