"Love and Deepspace Adds Face Verification to Chinese Version"

Love and Deepspace is enhancing its security protocols in China by introducing a face verification system set to launch in April 2025. This might sound a bit intense, but let's dive into the details and explore what this means for players both in China and globally.

Why Is Love and Deepspace Adding Face Verification?

For Chinese players, this isn't a major shift as China already mandates strict real-name authentication for online gaming. The primary goal of this new feature is to prevent minors from accessing games rated 18+, such as Love and Deepspace. It aligns with China’s broader initiative to tackle gaming addiction among minors under the Minors’ Protection Law. Over the years, China has been tightening regulations on the gaming industry, enforcing strict playtime limits for minors—90 minutes on weekdays and three hours on weekends.

Additionally, games must display a 'Healthy Gaming Advice' message before players start their sessions, encouraging them to take breaks and maintain a balanced lifestyle. Facial recognition technology is already a common feature in China, used for security purposes at airports and banks. This step by Love and Deepspace is just another layer to ensure compliance with local regulations.

What Does It Mean for Us?

For players outside of China, this change likely won't affect your gaming experience. The verification systems are tailored to meet China’s specific regulations. Love and Deepspace remains rated 12+ in most global app stores, and there's no indication that a face verification system will be implemented for the international version in the future.

What are your thoughts on this new feature? We'd love to hear your comments. Meanwhile, don't forget to stay updated with Love and Deepspace’s latest events and updates by downloading the game from the Google Play Store.
