Default Chinese gaming time goes down - 07-19-2007, 01:30 PM

but i bet suicide rates would go up after 5 hours

[quote:76d09]Under new rules that took effect Monday, Chinese Internet gaming companies must install a program that requires users to enter their ID card numbers. After three hours, players under 18 are prompted to stop and "do suitable physical exercise."

If they continue, the software slashes by half any points earned in the game. All points are wiped out if players stay on more than five hours.[/quote:76d09]

this includes WoW

I don't agree with government interfering with things it shouldn't have any business in, but doing this should be good. Leave it up to the parents to enforce rules though.
