* This is a legacy post from my old blog, which I have re-posted with an edited timestamp to reflect the original date.

In case you don’t follow these sorts of things, the chinese government a little while back decided that its people are playing video games too much. They enacted a ban on too many hours of online gaming. Players would be warned by the game service after a few hours that experience points would be cut in half and, if they continued to play another hour or two, reduced to nothing.

Unfortunately, many game companies have yet to implement the less-than-popular feature. The government has responded by sending out letters a couple of days ago that state the game service will be shut down and internet access cut off if they do not implement the time limits within a certain period. Ahh… communism.
