ICTChris Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 China has announced that under 18s are to be limited in the number of hours they can spend online gaming. Young gamers will be limited to one hour of gaming on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with an additional hour allowed on public holidays. The Chinese government said that the measures have been taken to reduce the levels of gaming addiction among young people. Previously the Chinese government have cracked down on under 18s masquerading as adults on games and rescinded the licenses of some gaming companies. Would P&Bers support similar measures in this country? Have any P&Bers ever been forced to limit their gaming time? How would P&Bers react if their P&B was rationed by radical woke Pinko snowflake Commie government dictat? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where can I sign up? Absolutely behind this. I don't have the moral fibre or will power to bring up my own kids properly and would very much appreciate the state stepping in to lend a hand. If they can get them to tidy their rooms and stop being so cheeky that would be great too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullerene Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 (edited) Even less time in North Korea. Whichever player gets to be Kim Jong Un is declared the winner before the game even starts. Edited August 30, 2021 by Fullerene 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Ted Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 (edited) How can they possibly police such a "law"? Can't see the next Football Manager release being a big seller there. Under that law, it would take you an eternity to get a season done. Edited August 30, 2021 by Father Ted 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they can do stuff like use govt issued ID and face recognition to do anything they want and regulate which firms get to operate there and shut down operators who don't play ball. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
