China implements new policy that only allows minors to play games for one hour on Fridays, weekends, and holidays
China’s game regulators have cut the amount of time under-18-year-old players can spend playing video games, the Chinese media revealed today. From now on, minors will be limited to three hours of gaming during the week and just one hour on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays between 8pm to 9pm amid the growing concern of gaming addiction. At other times, online gaming providers aren’t allowed to offer their services to minors in China. The regulators argue the new policy was made to protect the physical and mental health of minors.
