Following China’s “Travel Restriction Order” and the launch of the “Online Game Industry’s Self-Discipline Convention on the Prevention of Addiction in the Online Game Industry” a few days ago, Chinese game companies will “boycott overseas game platforms” to plug loopholes in the travel restriction order and evade Chinese game companies. The situation of China’s game censorship regulations.
It is reported that 213 Chinese game companies such as Tencent and NetEase are launching the “Online Game Industry Anti-addiction Self-Discipline Convention” to filter out bad game content and integrate anti-addiction features into online games, promising to stop young players from relying on “rental accounts” to play games. Circumstances, and promised not to circumvent China’s domestic approval procedures and supervision, and to stream the developed games directly to overseas platforms. In the past, many Chinese game developers skipped China’s domestic approval process and directly provided games on overseas platforms, and then allowed Chinese domestic players to play through these overseas platforms.
If the measures are strictly implemented, it will block the legal gray area where many developers use overseas platforms to reach Chinese players. Charles Yu, head of Pillar Legal’s Shanghai office, said, “This is mainly for online game stores, such as Steam and Epic Games Store.” “Due to restrictions on game licenses in China, it will be a big trend for Chinese game companies to move overseas.”
The “Convention on the Prevention of Addiction and Self-Discipline in the Online Game Industry” requires Chinese game companies to closely follow the direction of the country’s entertainment culture, prohibit politically incorrect, false history, pornography, bloody horror and other illegal game content, and resist money worship, “mother guns” and ” “Homosexuality” and other bad cultures. Charles Yu is worried about whether the above measures will restrict the overseas development teams of Chinese game companies and overseas development studios that Chinese companies have invested in. These are the areas that the Convention has not yet explained clearly.
