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 a bit intense, but it's part of a larger regulatory framework. For those curious about the implications for the global version, I've got some insights to share.

Why Is Love and Deepspace Adding Face Verification?

For players in China, this isn't a significant shift as the country already mandates strict real-name authentication for online games. The primary goal is to prevent minors from accessing games rated 18+, which is the rating for Love and Deepspace in China. This move aligns with China's ongoing efforts to combat gaming addiction among minors under the Minors' Protection Law. The country has been progressively tightening regulations on the gaming industry, implementing measures such as strict playtime limits: 90 minutes on weekdays and three hours on weekends.

Additionally, games are required to display 'Healthy Gaming Advice' before players start, encouraging them to take breaks and avoid excessive gaming. Facial recognition is already a common feature in China, used for security in places like airports and banks, making this new system a natural extension of existing practices.

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 meet 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 introduced globally in the future.
