Love and Deepspace is enhancing its security measures in China with the introduction of a face verification system, set to launch in April 2025. This might sound stringent, but there's a reason behind it. And yes, we'll address the global implications as well.
Why the Face Verification in China?
China already mandates strict real-name authentication for online games. This new system in Love and Deepspace is primarily designed to prevent underage players from accessing the game, which holds an 18+ rating in China. This aligns with China's broader initiative to combat gaming addiction among minors, as outlined in the Minors’ Protection Law. This ongoing effort includes playtime restrictions (90 minutes on weekdays, three hours on weekends, etc.) and mandatory "Healthy Gaming Advice" prompts before gameplay. Facial recognition technology is already widely integrated into daily life in China, used for security in various sectors like airports and banks.
Global Impact?
For players outside China, this change is unlikely to affect gameplay. The face verification system is specifically implemented to comply with Chinese regulations. Love and Deepspace maintains a 12+ rating in most global app stores, making the addition of a similar verification system internationally improbable.
