China's MMOG Regulation Has Failed


According to a recent report published by Xinhua, China's new game fatigue system (regulation of time spent playing MMOGs) is not effective.Gaming Players can bypass regulation attempts by switching between game accounts, using private servers, or simply playing more than one game. Interestingly enough, Xinhua is government-controlled, which means that the Chinese government is eager to bring this issue to the public's attention-perhaps it's an effort to encourage concerned parents and loved ones to take grassroots regulatory measures. Whatever the intention, a more comprehensive regulation system can't be far off.
