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.
