After Google and social networks, the Chinese government tackles online games and content "unhealthy" that is revealed by the Daily Xinhua News earlier this week.
From 1 August this year, online games for minors will have to be emptied of all content likely "to cause behavior that violates social morality and the law" the newspaper said. Paradoxically, if the government is talking about eradicating the content "unhealthy" games, however he does not detail, although it is conceivable that violent or sexual themes, and religion should be included.
The other Chinese government's goal is also to reduce dependency of young online games: to do so, publishers will have to develop techniques to limit the playing time of the miners. The latter will in turn use their real name and clearly stating their age. People under 18 can not also use more virtual cash to make purchases on gaming platforms.
So many practices already in force in South Korea , where the dependence of young people in online games for several years became a real public health problem. In China, despite pervasive censorship on the Internet, the online gaming industry is booming as the sector's turnover has increased by nearly 40% in 2009, reaching $ 3.8 billion . A market weight, which we imagine that the Chinese government wants to keep control.
