Love and Deepspace is enhancing its security measures in China with the introduction of a face verification system, slated for launch in April 2025. This might sound stringent, but let's explore the reasons and implications.
Why the Face Verification System?
This isn't a random decision. China already mandates real-name authentication for online games, and Love and Deepspace, rated 18+ in China, needs to comply. The primary goal is to prevent underage players from accessing content inappropriate for their age group. This aligns with China's broader initiative to combat gaming addiction among minors, as outlined in the Minors’ Protection Law. This law includes strict playtime limitations for minors (90 minutes on weekdays, three hours on weekends, etc.) and mandates "Healthy Gaming Advice" prompts before gameplay. Facial recognition is already widely integrated into daily life in China, used for security in various sectors like airports and banks.
Global Impact?
For players outside of China, this change likely won't affect gameplay. The face verification system is specifically implemented to adhere to Chinese regulations. Since Love and Deepspace maintains a 12+ rating in most global app stores, the addition of a similar system internationally is unlikely.
