"Online game companies go out day and night to serve minors", "use other game versions to operate 'game of the same name'", "take the authorized online game 'plus play' and privately add vulgar content". Have you encountered these online game "riot operations"?
Some online games can be opened to play, no real name is required
On August 30, 2021, the Notice on Further Strict Management and Effective prevention of minors' addiction to online games issued by the State Press and Publication Administration has been implemented for more than half a year.
The above-mentioned "Notice" requires all online game enterprises to provide 1 hour of service to minors from 20:00 to 21:00 every day on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays; they may not provide game services in any form to users who have not registered and logged in with real names.
Recently, during the investigation, the Financial Reporter of China and Singapore found that some games still do not require real-name authentication, and can be played when opened, not to mention the time limit. For example, the reporter experiences on the iOS side, downloads games such as "Stickman Tribe" and "Ultimate Mecha God of War", and opens it to play without real-name authentication.
Many website collections contain "online games with different real names", which can be downloaded to the mobile phone through the QR code. Screenshots
The Android side is even more "the hardest hit area", and some websites even specifically collect "online games do not require real-name authentication collection" and "game navigation without real-name authentication". The reporter noted that some online games, mainstream app stores have not included and distributed them, but these games can still be downloaded to mobile phones by scanning the QR code on the PC page.
Some industry insiders remind you not to download illegal games, which may imply Trojan viruses. When the reporter experienced, he found that some of the game's internal advertising pop-up windows were frequent, which not only affected the experience, but also the safety of the advertising link could not be guaranteed.
In addition, even if there are real-name authentication online games, most face recognition systems, through the fraudulent use of adult identity authentication is not uncommon; and even the "60-year-old man five kills in the morning" and other situations. Account leasing, account trading and trading have been repeatedly prohibited, and transactions are active.
Many companies have been fined, and the violations are varied
In fact, online games are issued in violation of regulations, real-name authentication, and open-to-play situations are frequent, and violations are varied.
Recently, the Jiangsu Provincial Press and Publication Bureau and the Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism selected and published typical cases involving minors, showing that online games such as "Weak Chicken Brakes", "The Adventures of Shenxiang Yuno", "Eternal Space", "Jet Man" and so on, the relevant pages do not display the game version number information, and they publish a number of online games online without approval according to law.
Many places have successively announced cases of violations involving minors' online games. Screenshots
The reporter combed through the cases of online game violations released by the relevant local departments in the past six months, showing that some game companies "went out day and night", waiting for 22 o'clock to release the operating time of minors and operate until 8 o'clock the next day; some companies set up measures to prevent minors from addicting in the game, and did not access the State Press and Publication Administration's online game anti-addiction real-name verification system.
Some game companies make articles on the game version number, such as using the game version number of other companies to illegally operate the game of the same name; some companies have fictitious approval information, and the relevant information cannot be found in the game approval inquiry page of the State Press and Publication Administration website.
Some analysts pointed out that now the game version number is the most precious, on April 11, after 8 months, a new batch of game version numbers were released, a total of 45 games were approved, and the difficulty of obtaining it can be seen.
Interestingly, some companies have obtained authorization and have also privately "added drama". According to media reports, a network technology company used the "Place Island" version number, although the company has the authorization to operate "Place Island", but they actually operate the game of the same name, mixed with more vulgar content.
Governance as a whole is good, and game audits are more stringent
When the reporter investigated, he found that some well-known game companies implemented the new regulations on online games more thoroughly, even if it is an online stand-alone game, it is also necessary to log in to real-name authentication, and even the tourist mode is completely closed. If it is an authenticated minor user, even in the game, during the non-minor game period, the point will be kicked offline.
The results of the new regulations for online games are immediate. Tencent's data on the flow and duration of minors' games in the fourth quarter of 2021 shows that the proportion of domestic minors' game time fell to 0.9%, the total length fell by 88% year-on-year, the proportion of game flow fell to 1.5%, and the total flow fell by 73% year-on-year.
"During the winter vacation of 2022, an average of 7.92 million game accounts that have been verified as minors with real names every day were intercepted every day when they tried to log in to Tencent Games during non-playable hours." Tencent told China-Singapore Finance.
Some parents of children told Zhongxin Finance, "It turned out that the children downloaded the game themselves, now it is not OK, and they cannot play after downloading, and the game originally installed on the iPad also needs real-name authentication to play after opening, and the game addiction is much smaller." ”

The reporter also noted that the supervision of online games for minors may be further tightened. On March 14, the State Internet Information Office again solicited public comments on the Regulations on the Protection of Minors Online (Draft for Solicitation of Comments), which proposes to provide for the establishment of a juvenile model for online games and other services, the classification of game products, and the formulation of administrative regulations on the time period, duration, and consumption ceiling of online game services provided to minors.
