Beijing is moving to curb excessive spending on video games across the country, according to a new draft regulation, dealing another blow to the world’s largest video gaming market after a lengthy government crackdown.
I’ve also done work in video game design and I don’t think most people understand the difference between designing a game that’s fun and engaging, and one that relies on the excitement of dopamine after dopamine hit.
Targeting children with barely disguised gambling is predatory behavior. I would like it regulated at least like gambling is. If you’re under 18 gambling isn’t legal.
Give kids a chance to grow up a bit before we get them hooked on electronic drugs.
Thanks for this comment.
