Love and Deepspace is enhancing its security protocols in China with a face verification system set to launch in April 2025. This might sound intense, but let’s break down why it's happening and what it means for players, both in China and globally.
Why Is Love and Deepspace Adding Face Verification?
For players in China, this isn't a significant change. The country already enforces strict real-name authentication for online gaming, especially to prevent minors from accessing games rated 18+, like Love and Deepspace. This measure aligns with China's ongoing efforts to combat gaming addiction among minors as outlined in the Minors' Protection Law. Over the years, China has implemented various regulations, including playtime restrictions—90 minutes on weekdays and up to three hours on weekends.
Additionally, games in China must display a 'Healthy Gaming Advice' message before players can start, encouraging breaks and responsible gaming habits. Facial recognition is increasingly common in China for security purposes, used in settings like airports and banks, making the new verification system a natural fit within this context.
What Does It Mean for Us?
For those of us playing outside China, this change likely won't affect our experience. The verification system is tailored to meet China's specific regulatory requirements. Love and Deepspace remains rated 12+ in most global app stores, indicating that a face verification system is unlikely to be implemented for international players in the foreseeable future.
