In China, games are called a drug and Tencent immediately limits the time for children

In China, an unpleasant situation has occurred – video games in the state publication Economic Information Daily were called a “spiritual drug”, which led to a noticeable reaction in the market.

Shares of major companies fell by up to 10%, and the same Tencent immediately began to react to the accusations. So, teenagers spend in Honor of kings up to 8 hours a day, and now they will be allowed to play no more than an hour a day – they also plan to disable all microtransactions for minors.

Similar actions seem to be planned in one way or another in most of the popular games in China. The government is considering the option of completely banning access to video games for children under 12 years old.
