What’s with China and always seeming at odds with the video game industry?

the government is really big on fighting “the corruption of the youth.” That’s why there’s heavy censorship on the content games can have, how long you can play them for, and now how much you can spend on them. It’s regulated like smoking.

I’m pretty sure the censorship of skulls and skeletons is a cultural thing. Also, as far as I know, how long a kid can play games is only a recommendation for parents, there is no way of enforcing such a thing.

A cap on spending is good, fuck lootboxes and other predatory practices.

The censorship goes beyond just skulls and skeletons these days, and there absolutely are requirements for time limiters on games. I’d recommend going down the rabbit hole of China’s attacks on videogames, it gets kinda insane.

They should crack down on it more if anything. Lootboxes and gachas are a curse.
