Love and Deepspace is enhancing its security measures in China with a new face verification system launching in April 2025. This might sound stringent, but it's directly related to China's existing regulations on online gaming.
Why the Face Verification System?
This isn't a random security upgrade. China already mandates real-name authentication for online games, and Love and Deepspace, rated 18+ in China, needs to comply. The face verification system is a key step in preventing underage players from accessing the game, aligning with the country's Minors' Protection Law. This law aims to combat gaming addiction among minors, implementing restrictions like limited playtime (90 minutes on weekdays, three hours on weekends) and mandatory "Healthy Gaming Advice" prompts. Facial recognition is also increasingly common in China for various security applications, including airports and banks.
Global Impact?
For players outside China, this change is unlikely to affect your gameplay. The face verification system is specifically designed to meet Chinese regulations. Since Love and Deepspace maintains a 12+ rating in most global app stores, there are no plans to introduce similar verification measures internationally.
