Love and Deepspace is set to enhance its security protocols in China with the introduction of a face verification system in April 2025. This might sound a bit intense, but let's dive into why this is 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 groundbreaking change. The country already enforces strict real-name authentication for online games, particularly to prevent minors from accessing games rated 18+, which is the rating for Love and Deepspace in China. This move aligns with China's ongoing efforts to combat gaming addiction among minors under the Minors' Protection Law. Over the years, China has implemented various measures, including strict playtime limits: 90 minutes on weekdays and three hours on weekends.
Additionally, games in China are required to display 'Healthy Gaming Advice' before players start, encouraging them to take breaks and avoid excessive gaming. Facial recognition technology is already widely used in China for security purposes, such as in airports and banks, making this new feature a natural extension of existing practices.
What Does It Mean for Us?
For those of us playing outside of China, this change likely won't affect our gameplay. The face verification system is tailored to meet China's specific regulatory requirements. Love and Deepspace remains rated 12+ in most global app stores, so there's no indication that a similar system will be implemented for international players in the future.
