Weird 2010's gamer nationalism meets china bad.
"Oh no, kids won't be able to use games to escape reality now" — Good, have them play outside or read a book or something.
"Horrible, I couldn't live without games" — Yes, this law is attempting to help people before they become like you.
"New generations won't grow up to be gamers now" — How will society survive!
"It's about controlling freedom of thought" — Ah, yes, this will stop the great dialogue had by fourteen-year-olds in LoL game chats.
The thing is the games they banned are only the worst for kids. Kids can't play online games which means no gachas, skinner boxes, and no equivalent of American COD servers I have no reason to believe don't exist. I would argue those are all good things to ban and frankly the skinner boxes and gacha types should be banned outright for everyone. They're parasites, ask me about my time playing Genshin Impact.
I don't disagree with you but the tone of the original post isn't "hoo boy I sure am glad predatory practices are being regulated" it's "hahaha look at these shitty proles with their shitty prole hobbies, aren't I cool for not being one of them?"
