In this whole article there are only two paragraphs that are not useless word salad:
The government now wants to set a cap on how much money each player can spend within a title, according to the draft.
The regulations also asked that game publishers operating abroad respect Chinese laws and culture and refrain from endangering national security, without elaborating. Tencent is the world’s largest gaming publisher, with investments in studios from Epic Games Inc. in the US to Supercell in Europe. The agency will take feedback on the proposed rules for a month, without saying when they take effect.

I can get behind prohibiting these sorts of mechanics. Don’t think they really add anything of substance. Though I would prefer that companies and the industry self-regulate rather than having the government step in, but that’s unlikely to happen.
Look at this idiot that believes in corporations regulating themselves. I bet he thinks children who believe in Santa (a very real phenomenon whom I once saw in a mall) are stupid.
the r/games thread on this has no less than three comments calling it “aUtHoRiTaRiAn” lol
Only three? I’m surprised.
Gamers complain, China fixes. Gamers continue to complain.
China does nothing- “Evil Chinese games preying on consumers and funneling money to the CCP.”
China does something- “NOOOOoooo!!! CCP authoritarianisms ruins everything!!!”
Just remove the blood ban and the unnecessary restrictions on minors then China’s restrictions would be reasonable.
blood ban???
I believe they’re referring to a ban on blood being shown in game or something of the sort. I’ve also heard skeletons being present are banned but I’m not sure.
