Love and Deepspace is enhancing its security in China with a new face verification system, launching in April 2025. This might sound strict, but let's break down why and what it means for the rest of the world.
Why the Face Verification?
This isn't a random security upgrade for Chinese players. China already mandates real-name authentication for online games. Love and Deepspace, rated 18+ in China, is implementing face verification to prevent underage players from accessing the game. This aligns with China's Minors' Protection Law and broader efforts to combat gaming addiction among minors. These efforts include playtime restrictions (90 minutes on weekdays, three hours on weekends) and mandatory "Healthy Gaming Advice" prompts. Facial recognition is already commonplace in China for various security purposes, including airports and banks.
Global Impact?
For players outside China, this change is unlikely to affect gameplay. The face verification system is directly tied to China's specific regulations. Since Love and Deepspace maintains a 12+ rating in most global app stores, there are no plans to implement similar verification globally.
