Wii News \ Chinese Gamers Now Required to Use Real Names for Online Gaming

The Chinese Government have implemented a new policy for registering for online games - being that they have to use their real names.
Are the Chinese Government trying to stop cyber criminals or something else?

The daily article in China did not reveal anything else about the new policy other than four online gaming companies have had all their operations suspended for not having the "mandatory anti-addiction system".

Not many people even knew such a system existed, but according to the Chinese Government, it does.

the anti-addiction makes it where a certian amount of game play can only be done with in the week like say you play dragon quest for 30 hours a week they have it set to where after like 5 hours it will auto make you save and then shut down the game for the week if you try and play it pops up saying "You have reached your limit for the week/day try again later"



Those whacky Chinese. Why dont they just implant a gps on everyone and be done with it.

Could you imagine working all week, coming home friday intending to pull an all night gaming marathon, only to be told you're not allowed to by some stupid commie twat you didnt even vote for.

I will never complain about OUR govt ever again.



except for the fact that most average chinese people cant even afford to buy games....

HAAHAHAHAHAHAHA I hadn't thought about it like that, "Xian Ling pulled an online scam and took all my money." "Ok which Xian Ling was it" "The....one that scammed me"

The anti-addiction is on 90% of their games not just the mmos the real name thing i have no clue what all its going on but i know from experinces almost all their games have a set day gameplay time like 1 game i'v played has a 2 hour gameplay a day once you reach that time it auto makes you save and after you save shuts off then when you try to get back on even if you make a new file it says "You have reached your total time for the day" roughly translated
