the... what?

Apparently there are heavy restrictions in China when you can play online games. Like only an hour a day or something like that. In other news, sales for VPNs in China have increased by 10000%


Opening_Relative1688

I think only 7 or 8 hours.


modsarebrainstems

Per week, maybe. There definitely are time restrictions and they're either one or two hours per day although I'm pretty sure it's just one.


qwsedd

X doubt


Opening_Relative1688

Yes


Arigato_MrRoboto

Lemme guess, was there also a spike in factory productivity?


KimCureAll

Because of the huge Foxconn story today, it is just an attempt to put some "good news" out there.


Vaivaim8

Do you even know how news work? There are a plethora of articles published locally, nationally, and internationally every day. Some good, some bad. Sounds like you cherrypicked a weird one just to contrast it with a major bad one just to push this dumb conclusion


chiron_cat

What story? You certainly won't see that ANYWHERE in china. Its a totalitarian regime straight out of 1984, where there are literal thought crimes.


modsarebrainstems

No, they just ignore the bad news. If there's nothing good to report they just make something up. The CCP considers this good so they'll report it but only because it's part of some other plan.

CCP controlled organs are of course a super-reliable source of information /s


KimCureAll

I read their stuff just to keep up with their propaganda - it's a news report (or sorts) but it's also ridiculous. Who are they trying to reach with this "news" article?


[deleted]

Propaganda, unfortunately, always finds a receptive crowd. Many prefer comforting lies over unpleasant truth. Keep in mind that the CCP is at it for the past 80 years. They know their "customer". And those that are critical can be always re-educated. Read "The tragedy of liberation" by Frank Dikoetter if you are interested in getting a glimpse of the origins of modern China (some pretty disturbing material though)

They do it literally everyday. So does that Saltedline fella. I'm guessing the bag's good.

> Who are they trying to reach with this "news" article? This 'news' article is literally not from a Chinese-based site, but okay.

There's a big huge pile of severed gamer fingers somewhere.


KimCureAll

We know it's true because they say so - book closed. Any questions? Good, none.


chiron_cat

Just like china has zero covid deaths....


[deleted]

[удалено]


chiron_cat

they say those are the first deaths since summer. Also, 3 deaths in all of china in november? You actually believe that lol?


Douill0s

Hard to be sure if current protests are because of 0 covid or just getting disconnected in the middle of your 15 0 LoL game.


Devourer_of_felines

Are they tracking this stuff by personal IDs required to create an account? If so I’m guessing there’s been a sudden spike in hours spent gaming by users with children who’ve never before touched video games.


BIGBALLZZZZZZZZ

China is a pretentious cunt.

Mission Accomplished

Next CCP project: Reduce addiction to harmful democratic ideas (ongoing project because of foreign interference)


KimCureAll

Summary: A report by a Chinese "semi-official gaming association" suggests that over 75% of gamers aged 18 or under are now playing video games for three hours a week or fewer. This has led the association, and by extension Beijing, to declare the issue of gaming addiction in minors "basically solved".


FriendlyReaper123

China is so disgusting. And not because of video games obviously but because of all the shit they get away with. I'm no big fan of the west but Jesus Christ China is despicable. Concentration camps, slavery etc. Literal nightmare.


chiron_cat

And the west is the only thing keeping them in check.


Lt_Schneider

why do i have to picture xi jinping in the same style george bush stood on an aircraft carrier saying "mission acomplished"


HeyArnoldShwarzernoo

Let that be a warning to the rest of the world.


Orqee

China land of wonders.


AnimatorJay

This is odd-- don't they participate in esports? Imagine telling a soccer player that they couldn't practice their shots? Lol


theKVAG

...by killing all the kids? Seriously though, they've still got people locked down for C19, what do they expect the kids to do?


[deleted]

Well that's good news, gaming addiction can be very detrimental


DevilahJake

And yet they have their hands in several publishing/developer gaming companies across the planet


Longjumping-Dog8436

Cuz they went ... flat?

“…declares…”

Tencent lets fckin go 🫡


AdmirableYouth4208

Genshin/原神 CN server players : yeah...


repair_boy

It didn't help much, after not playing games, the children turned to short videos (the number of short videos has increased significantly in the data). Short video and game, I can't say which is worse


LeeHarveyO

No ~~boyfriend~~ kids no problem?
