"Love and Deepspace Adds Face Verification in China"

Love and Deepspace is set to enhance its security protocols in China by introducing a face verification system starting April 2025. While this might sound like a significant change, it's actually aligned with China's existing regulations. Let's dive into why this is happening and what it means for players around the world.

Why Is Love and Deepspace Adding Face Verification?

For Chinese players, this isn't a surprising move. China has long enforced strict real-name authentication for online gaming, particularly for games rated 18+, which includes Love and Deepspace. The primary goal here is to prevent minors from accessing adult-rated games, aligning with the country's efforts to combat gaming addiction among minors under the Minors' Protection Law.

China has been tightening regulations on the gaming industry for years, implementing measures such as limited playtime for minors—90 minutes on weekdays and three hours on weekends. Additionally, games are required to display 'Healthy Gaming Advice' to remind players to take breaks and maintain a balanced lifestyle. Facial recognition technology is already widely used in China for various security purposes, including at airports and banks, making this new feature a natural extension of existing practices.

What Does It Mean for Us?

For those of us playing Love and Deepspace outside of China, this update won't affect our gaming experience. The face verification system is specifically tailored to comply with China's regulations. Since Love and Deepspace is rated 12+ in most global app stores, there's no need for such a system to be implemented internationally.
