China Restring Online Games

[heyadol]

Insider Gaming is reporting China has set some new restrictions for online gaming, here are some highlights that address some of the most egregious problems with free to play/gacha games:

Online games must set spending limits
Online games must ban daily login rewards
Players who stream their games must not be able to receive large tips
Probability-based luck draws must not be offered
Online game approvals must be processed by regulators within 60 days of publishing

It’s already gaining an adverse effect on the value/shares of Tencent and Netease. Seems like a positive change, I’m sure most players in this forum don’t like the gambling style gacha games. No idea if this will change globally though, probably only going to be for players in China.

And stupid autocorrect changed the title from “restricting” to “restring” which isn’t even a word…
