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 it's directly tied to existing Chinese regulations.
Why the Face Verification System?
This isn't a sudden shift for Chinese players. China already mandates real-name authentication for online games. Love and Deepspace, rated 18+ in China, is implementing face verification to prevent underage players from accessing the game, complying with the country's Minors’ Protection Law. This aligns with China's broader efforts to combat gaming addiction among minors, including playtime restrictions (90 minutes on weekdays, three hours on weekends) and mandatory "Healthy Gaming Advice" prompts. Facial recognition is already commonplace in China for security purposes in various sectors.
Global Impact?
For players outside China, this change is unlikely to affect gameplay. The face verification system is specifically designed to meet China's unique regulatory environment. Since Love and Deepspace maintains a 12+ rating in most global app stores, the addition of a similar system internationally is improbable.
