"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 in April 2025. This move might sound intense, but let's delve into what it means and how it impacts both Chinese and global players.

Why Is Love and Deepspace Adding Face Verification?

For Chinese players, this isn't a drastic change. China already mandates strict real-name authentication for online games, especially to prevent minors from accessing games rated 18+, such as Love and Deepspace. This new measure is part of a broader initiative under China's Minors' Protection Law to combat gaming addiction among the youth. The country has been progressively tightening regulations on the gaming sector, implementing strict playtime limits for minors—90 minutes on weekdays and three hours on weekends.

Additionally, games are required to show a 'Healthy Gaming Advice' message before gameplay begins, urging players to take breaks and avoid excessive gaming. Facial recognition technology is already widely used in China for various security purposes, such as in airports and banks, making this addition to gaming just another step in their comprehensive approach to digital security.

What Does It Mean for Us?

For players outside of China, there's no need to worry. The face verification system is tailored to comply with China's specific regulations. Love and Deepspace remains rated 12+ in most global app stores, and there are no indications that similar verification systems will be implemented globally in the future.
