"Love and Deepspace Adds Face Verification to Chinese Version"

Love and Deepspace is enhancing its security protocols in China with the introduction of a face verification system set to launch in April 2025. This might sound a bit stringent, but it's quite standard for the region. For those curious about the implications for the global version, I have some insights to share.

Why Is Love and Deepspace Adding Face Verification?

For Chinese players, this isn't a significant shift, as China already mandates strict real-name authentication for online games. The primary goal is to prevent minors from accessing games rated 18+, which is the rating for Love and Deepspace in China. This move aligns with China's broader initiative to combat gaming addiction among minors under the Minors’ Protection Law. Over the years, China has implemented various restrictions on the gaming industry, including strict playtime limits for minors: 90 minutes on weekdays and three hours on weekends.

Moreover, games in China must display 'Healthy Gaming Advice' before players start, encouraging breaks and moderation. Facial recognition technology is already widely integrated into daily life in China, used for security in places like airports and banks.

What Does It Mean for Us?

For players outside of China, this change is unlikely to have any impact, as these verification systems are tailored to comply with China’s specific regulations. Love and Deepspace retains a 12+ rating in most global app stores, so there's no indication that a face verification system will be introduced for international users, even in the future.
