Chinese teens vent at new gaming limits as investors weigh impact on industry
Young Chinese gamers took to social media to express their outrage at new rules that limit their gaming time to just three hours per week, while investors fretted about the long-term impact on the industry.
Authorities argue the restrictions are necessary to stop growing gaming addiction and the People's Daily, the ruling Communist Party's official newspaper, said the government had to be "ruthless" as online games impair normal study life and the physical and mental health of teens.
The curbs are part of Beijing's efforts to promote the primacy of socialism and strengthen controls over society it now views as having become too lax after years of laissez-faire growth for the tech sector and other industries.
Young gamers were, however, angry.
"This group of grandfathers and uncles who make these rules and regulations, have you ever played games? Do you understand that the best age for e-sports players is in their teens?" said one comment on China's Twitter-like Weibo.
