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 in April 2025. This might sound quite stringent, but rest assured, it's tailored specifically for the Chinese market. For those curious about the implications for the global version, I've got updates on that front as well.

Why Is Love and Deepspace Adding Face Verification?

The addition of facial recognition in Love and Deepspace isn't a major shift for players in China, given the country's existing stringent real-name authentication for online gaming. This measure primarily targets the prevention of minors accessing games rated 18+, as Love and Deepspace falls into this category in China.

This move aligns with China's ongoing efforts to combat gaming addiction among minors, as mandated by the Minors’ Protection Law. Over the years, China has progressively tightened regulations on the gaming industry. For instance, there are strict playtime limits for minors: 90 minutes on weekdays and up to three hours on weekends.

Additionally, games in China must present a 'Healthy Gaming Advice' message before players can start, encouraging them to take breaks and avoid excessive play. Facial recognition is already widely integrated into daily life in China, used for security at places like airports and banks.

What Does It Mean for Us?

For players outside of China, this change should not have any impact, as the verification systems are designed to comply with China-specific regulations. Love and Deepspace retains a 12+ rating in most global app stores, making the addition of a face verification system to the global version highly unlikely in the foreseeable future.
