Due to a growing concern among officials, the Chinese government recently announced plans to adopt measures to limit the time a citizen can play an online game at a time. Most officials believe that players should not be online for more than three consecutive hours. The purpose of this action, according to officials, is to “prevent young people from becoming addicted to online games.” The preventative measures will go into place in October and greatly affect online gaming operators who receive permission from the government in order to operate. Any players that remain online for more than three hours will have their in-game characters limited. Gamers online for over five hours will have their in-game characters severely limited.
