But it only applies to minors so you can’t just shut it all down. Afaik they’re pushing the enforcement to the game companies themselves which means blizzard or whoever has to be the one tracking your age and using that to limit your play time which seems like it’s just gonna produce a lot of players that were all born on 1/1/2000 or whatever
Replying to myself because I found the answer elsewhere:
I just want to clarify to everyone who doesn't know:
In order to play online games in China, you need to open a QQ account with your ID in it. For best of my knowledge (haven't been in China for a couple of years) everyone under 18 are limited for 8 hours of weekly game time anyway.
The thing is, usually, kids just link their parents ID or random people's ID to their accounts and then they play as much as they want.
So kinda similar to the firewall. It’s not that hard to get around it, but it’s a mild difficulty that stops people who don’t care very much. That’s fantastic!
