Chinese Gaming Limits

[Frankenkubota]

My son grew up just before the gaming craze. He had plenty of other electronic distractions but a little too old for the online gaming craze.

First of all, i don't understand how it works, they must buffer this stuff to death? Don't matter.

The Chinese govt has just put in place regulations re gaming. they will limit online gaming to..

1 hour friday, 1 hour saturday, 1 hour sunday and holidays.

i'm convinced that gaming is an addiction just like the smart phone, tv, food, drugs etc etc. which involves questions of morality.

the one thing i know for sure, you can not legislate morality.

I read the China new rules on gaming:

- only apply to those under 18

- only apply to online gaming

- have to be enforced by the online gaming companies

One interesting item was China now requires all online names to be the person’s real name and identity such that the person can be identified and traced.

Hummm.

I wonder if TBN would be considered an online game in China!!!

That would be a sure-fire deterrent for me.

Wait a minute, what's gaming? I used to like to play solitaire on my computer, it was a good way to monitor my eye/hand coordination.
Then they moved it online and required you to register, so I'm back to using an old fashioned deck of cards. I've found that shuffling/dealing has been a good way to improve my hand dexterity.

Not surprised.

With all the pushovers we have, it won’t be long until we start implementing rules like this in the US

I follow what our friends in China are doing out of interest. If I was still in school, I would want to learn to speak the language. Fortunately, I am too old to worry much about them, but they will be a force to be reckoned with.

There was a episode on the radio problem 'Fresh Air' where the guest is the Director of an addiction clinic at Stanford University. She feels that smartphones are addictive along with social media. I don't recall her mentioning video games but it would make sense. I have a nephew who I believe spends a unhealthy amount of time playing those games. I have mentioned my concern to his father.
