China Limits Video Game Time for Young Players

[RDG]

In order to "thwart addiction" China adopts online video game curfew for minors to thwart addiction

 

[Fone Bone]

That is absolutely ridiculous. Like the U.S., China has a ton of political problems, and videogames are an easy scapegoat instead of recognizing the obvious reasons the government is failing.

I don't know if there's any rules about necroing (Not trying to) but why doesn't the Chinese citizens just join forces and start an insurrection against their evil government? Not even the U.S. would do this.

Video games aren't the cause of violence.

You know what? I should've named this thread "Governments in Asia Seek to Limit Video Game Time for Children", 'cause guess what? Kagawa Prefecture Passes Ordinance Restricting Children's Video Game Playing Time

Video games aren't the cause of violence.

Um, the curfew has nothing to do with violence, it's "addiction" to electronics that they are trying to deal with.

Anyone who thinks videogames aren't addictive has never played them.

Now whether it's actually a HARMFUL addiction is where the actual controversy lies.
