Love and Deepspace is enhancing its security measures in China with a new face verification system launching in April 2025. This might sound stringent, but there's a reason behind it. And, importantly, here's what this means for the global player base.
Why the Face Verification System?
For Chinese players, this isn't entirely new. China already mandates real-name authentication for online games. This face verification system specifically targets preventing underage players from accessing Love and Deepspace, which holds an 18+ rating in China.
This move aligns with China's broader initiative to combat gaming addiction among minors, as mandated by the Minors' Protection Law. The country has implemented several measures over the years, including strict playtime limits for minors (90 minutes on weekdays, three hours on weekends, etc.) and mandatory "Healthy Gaming Advice" prompts before gameplay. Facial recognition technology is already widely used in China for security purposes in various sectors, including airports and banks.
Impact on Global Players?
For players outside of China, this change is unlikely to affect your gameplay. The verification system is specifically designed to comply with China's regulations. Since Love and Deepspace maintains a 12+ rating in most global app stores, the addition of a similar face verification system isn't anticipated.
