Love and Deepspace is enhancing its security measures in China with a new face verification system, set to launch in April 2025. This might sound a bit strict, but there's a reason behind it. Let's explore why this is happening and what it means for players globally.
Why the Face Verification System?
In China, online games already require strict real-name authentication. Love and Deepspace, rated 18+ in China, is implementing face verification to prevent underage players from accessing the game. This is in line with China's Minors' Protection Law, a broader initiative to combat gaming addiction among minors. This law includes playtime restrictions (90 minutes on weekdays, three hours on weekends) and mandatory "Healthy Gaming Advice" displayed before gameplay. Facial recognition technology is already widely used in China for security purposes in various sectors, including airports and banks.
Global Implications?
For players outside of China, this new feature likely won't have any impact. The face verification system is specifically designed to comply with Chinese regulations. Since Love and Deepspace maintains a 12+ rating in most global app stores, there are no plans to implement similar verification systems internationally.
