China Govt restricts U-18's to 3hrs online gaming

1MC writes: Seems the Chinese govt is requiring game houses to modify MMOG's to restrict under 18 users to 3hr's "productive" gameplay per day. This "anti-addiction" software must be in place within 4 months, with games not compliant by July 15 liable to be shut down in China. Net9, Shanda and NetEase will be moving to comply with the government regulations.
Users will have to register with their real names and Chinese identity card numbers to be allowed access to the games.
