This via the People’s Daily Online and Slashdot’s “Thank-God-I’m-Over-18-Dept”
The Chinese govt is requiring game houses to modify MMOG’s to restrict under 18 users to 3 hours “productive” gameplay per day. This “anti-addiction” software must be in place within 4 months, with games not compliant by July 16 liable to be shut down in China…Users will have to register with their real names and Chinese identity card numbers to be allowed access to the games.”
