Love and Deepspace is set to enhance its security protocols in China with the introduction of a face verification system in April 2025. This move might sound intense, but for Chinese players, it aligns with existing regulations. Here's the scoop on why this is happening and what it means for players worldwide.
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 games, particularly those rated 18+, such as Love and Deepspace. The primary goal is to prevent minors from accessing games not suitable for their age, aligning with China's broader initiative to combat gaming addiction among minors under the Minors’ Protection Law. This law has led to stringent measures within the gaming industry, including playtime restrictions—90 minutes on weekdays and three hours on weekends—and mandatory 'Healthy Gaming Advice' notifications to encourage responsible gaming. Facial recognition is commonplace in China, used for security in settings like 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 China, this change likely won't affect our experience. The face verification system is specifically tailored to meet China's regulatory requirements. Love and Deepspace remains rated 12+ in most global app stores, so there's no indication that similar verification systems will be introduced globally in the future.
