Love and Deepspace Is Adding Face Verification to Its Chinese Version

Love and Deepspace is enhancing its security protocols in China with the introduction of a face verification system set to launch in April 2025. This may sound a bit intense, but it's a standard practice in the country. For those curious about the implications for the global version, I have some insights on that as well.

Why Is Love and Deepspace Adding Face Verification?

For Chinese players, this isn't a major shift, as China already mandates strict real-name authentication for online games. The primary goal here is to prevent minors from accessing games rated 18+, which is the rating Love and Deepspace has in China.

This move is part of China's broader initiative to combat gaming addiction among minors, as outlined in the Minors' Protection Law. The country has been tightening regulations on the gaming industry for years, enforcing strict playtime limits for minors: 90 minutes on weekdays and three hours on weekends.

Additionally, games are required to show 'Healthy Gaming Advice' before players can start, encouraging them to take breaks and not overdo it. Facial recognition technology is already a common aspect of daily life in China, used for security in places like airports and banks.

What Does It Mean for Us?

For players outside of China, this change is unlikely to have any impact. The verification systems are tailored to comply with China's specific regulations. Love and Deepspace remains rated 12+ in most global app stores, so there's no indication that a face verification system will be added to the global version anytime soon.
