"Love and Deepspace Adds Face Verification in China"

Love and Deepspace is introducing a new face verification system in China, set to launch in April 2025. This move might seem intense, but for those wondering about its impact on the global version, let's dive into the details.

Why Is Love and Deepspace Adding Face Verification?

For Chinese players, this isn't a groundbreaking change. China has long enforced strict real-name authentication for online games, especially for titles like Love and Deepspace, which is rated 18+ in the region. The primary goal is to prevent minors from accessing games not suitable for their age group. This initiative aligns with China's broader efforts to combat gaming addiction among minors, as outlined in the Minors' Protection Law. The country has been progressively tightening regulations on the gaming industry, implementing measures such as limiting playtime for minors to 90 minutes on weekdays and three hours on weekends.

Additionally, games in China are required to display 'Healthy Gaming Advice' before players can start, encouraging responsible gaming habits and regular breaks. Facial recognition technology is already a common feature in China, used for security in places like airports and banks, making this new system a natural extension of existing practices.

What Does It Mean for Us?

For players outside of China, this change likely won't affect gameplay. The face verification system is tailored to meet China's specific regulatory requirements. Since Love and Deepspace is rated 12+ in most global app stores, there's no indication that such a system will be implemented internationally in the future.
