Face Verification Added to Love and Deepspace Chinese Version

Love and Deepspace is set to enhance its security protocols in China with the introduction of a face verification system, scheduled for launch in April 2025. This move might seem a bit intense, but it aligns with existing regulations. If you're curious about how this might affect the global version, I've got some insights to share.

Why Is Love and Deepspace Adding Face Verification?

For players in China, this isn't a groundbreaking change. The country already mandates strict real-name authentication for online gaming, aimed at preventing minors from accessing games rated 18+, which includes Love and Deepspace in China. This initiative is part of a larger effort to tackle gaming addiction among minors, as outlined in China's Minors’ Protection Law. The government has been progressively tightening regulations on the gaming industry, implementing measures like limiting playtime for minors to 90 minutes on weekdays and three hours on weekends.

Additionally, games are required to show 'Healthy Gaming Advice' before players start, urging them to take breaks and maintain a balanced lifestyle. Facial recognition technology is already woven into the fabric of daily life in China, used for security at places like airports and banks.

What Does It Mean for Us?

For those of us playing outside of China, this new verification system won't bring any changes. The measures are tailored to China's specific regulations, and Love and Deepspace remains rated 12+ in most global app stores. Thus, there's no indication that face verification will be implemented globally in the foreseeable future.
