Love and Deepspace is set to enhance its security protocols in China with the introduction of a face verification system starting in April 2025. This move might seem intense, but it aligns with existing regulations. Let's dive into what this means for players both in China and around the world.
For Chinese players, this isn't a significant shift. China has long enforced strict real-name authentication for online games, particularly to prevent minors from accessing games rated 18+, such as Love and Deepspace. This new measure is part of China's ongoing efforts to combat gaming addiction among minors, as outlined in the Minors’ Protection Law. The country has implemented various restrictions on the gaming industry, including stringent playtime limits: 90 minutes on weekdays and three hours on weekends.
Additionally, games in China must display a 'Healthy Gaming Advice' message before players can start, encouraging responsible gaming habits. Facial recognition technology, already prevalent in China for security purposes at places like airports and banks, will now extend to gaming to ensure compliance with these regulations.
For players outside of China, the introduction of this face verification system is unlikely to have any impact. The verification is specifically designed to meet China’s regulatory requirements, and Love and Deepspace remains rated 12+ in most global app stores. Therefore, there is no indication that similar verification systems will be introduced globally in the future.
