"Love and Deepspace Adds Face Verification in China"

Love and Deepspace is set to enhance its security protocols in China with the introduction of a face verification system starting in April 2025. This might sound stringent, but let's dive into why it's happening and what it means for players both in China and around the globe.

Why Is Love and Deepspace Adding Face Verification?

For Chinese players, this isn't a surprising move. China has long enforced strict real-name authentication for online gaming, particularly to prevent minors from accessing games rated 18+, which Love and Deepspace is in China. This initiative aligns with China's broader efforts to address gaming addiction among minors, as mandated by the Minors' Protection Law. Over the years, China has tightened regulations on the gaming industry, implementing strict playtime limits for minors—90 minutes on weekdays and three hours on weekends.

Additionally, games in China are required to display 'Healthy Gaming Advice' to remind players to take breaks and avoid excessive play. Facial recognition technology, already integrated into everyday life in China for security at airports and banks, is now being extended to gaming to ensure compliance with these regulations.

What Does It Mean for Us?

For players outside of China, this change is unlikely to have any impact. The face verification system is tailored to meet China's specific regulatory demands. Love and Deepspace remains rated 12+ in most global app stores, suggesting that there are no plans to introduce such a system for international players in the foreseeable future.
