You can only play video games for 90 minutes a day in China. Do you think this is a good idea?

[Yuzu]

If you're under 18 in China, you can only play video games for 90 minutes a day. On the weekend, the time limit is extended to 3 hours per day. They also limit the amount of money you can spend on microtransactions and ban gaming after 10pm until 8am the next morning.

How do you feel about this?

That being said. Think about all the other restrictions other countries have.
Plenty of other countries/unions/etc have weird restrictions to its population.. like weird stuff.

I don't think that chinese adults have much time for anything that is not just work.

What? Lol Chinese barely work that much.

I honestly dont think this is a good idea...

Specially when its THAT strict..
90 min wow

I never had such strict limitations, i always got good marks and i didnt have anything else to do as a child and sometimes i just didnt want to do anything...

Wait ,do these rules also apply to watching TV and browsing the internet as well...?

90 min? Holy crap ,a csgo match can actually be longer ,even though the average match is 30/45 min

Yoo even a football match is actually longer than that

football isn't a part of digital game , so kids can play whenever they want , even though fifa is banned on chinese steam shop , for football only real life one is able

The avarage work week in China is 40 hours.
There is laws such as only 1 hour per day overtime and 3 hours in special circumstances, if its not danger to the employees health. You can maximum work 18 hours + per week, no matter the circumstances.

US is similar, they also have a max 40 hours work week, but with special rules for certain businesses, that can go with up to 44 hours a week.
US workers, can work up to 38 hours of overtime in a week.

Some fields does not even allow overtime pay, but just regular pay all hours, like.. Executive and administrative employees, Computer proffesionals (various proffesions) Farm workers, Seamen on foreign vessels (sorry I just had to take this one), Employees of motion picture theaters, Nurses, Policemen, doctors, etc. Because of their line of work.


In my region 37 hours is the norm, anything above that is overtime (most have union agreements) but EU actually has a 48 hour weekly maximum. However there are tons of rules about breaks, etc. that you don´t see in other places.


All in all.. people actually do work similar amount of hours. It depends more on professions and educational level, rather than the region/country you are from. We might also semi conclude that the biggest differences are avarage pay/breaks per day/rest per day and rest per week.

I believe that most gamers are teens.

I think that it is extremey rare for people to start playing games if they did not do that when they were kids or ast least teens.

Of course in countries that have very low birth rates most gamers are adults because there are more adults than kids.

No, The CCP and their obscene policies over control can stuff it!

I have US stats
https://www.statista.com/statistics/189582/age-of-us-video-game-players-since-2010/

But I have seen various others gathered and I have posted them in other debates. The vast majority are adults. There is also almost 50/50 in terms of gender spread.

Mixed feelings. Protecting people from themselves, and from an addictive habit that comes at the expense of work, is admirable, but I personally think people should be free to pick their own poison.
