Recently, Tencent and NetEase successively released notices on game time restrictions for minors during the Mid-Autumn Festival National Day holiday, which has attracted widespread attention and heated discussions. According to Tencent's notice, from September 29 to October 6, minor users can only enjoy one hour of game time between 20:00 and 21:00 per day, and the cumulative playtime during holidays is 8 hours. At the same time, NetEase Games also issued a similar notice a few days ago, limiting the time minors can play.
According to the notice of NetEase Games, during and around the 2023 Mid-Autumn Festival National Day holiday, the game time restrictions for minors are as follows: from September 29 to October 6, minors can experience the game from 20:00 to 21:00 every day; On October 7 and 8 (Saturday, Sunday, weekdays), minors will not be able to experience the game.
The problem of adolescent game addiction has always attracted much attention and attracted great attention from all walks of life. In order to effectively address this issue, the State Press and Publication Administration issued a notice in August 2021 to strictly limit the time for providing online gaming services to minors. This time, the joint action of Tencent and NetEase once again sent a clear signal to the society, indicating the determination and action of game giants to protect the healthy growth of minors.
This move has sparked widespread discussion in society. On the one hand, proponents believe that limiting minors' gaming time can help protect their physical and mental health, reduce the risk of gaming addiction, and also guide them to better balance learning and play. On the other hand, some have questioned that such restrictions may restrict the personal freedoms of minors and that how to implement them has become the focus of discussion.
In any case, this move by Tencent and NetEase will undoubtedly have an important impact on the gaming industry. As the two largest game companies in China, their actions will lead the development direction of the entire industry and will also have a certain reference for other game companies. At the same time, it also reminds parents and all sectors of society that they should jointly pay attention to the health of minors' games and work together to create a good environment for growth.
In general, the release of Tencent and NetEase's notice on the time limit for minors playing during the Mid-Autumn Festival National Day holiday has aroused widespread attention and heated discussions. This move will undoubtedly have an important impact on the game industry, and it also reminds all sectors of society to pay attention to the gaming health of minors. We look forward to seeing more measures to benefit the healthy physical and mental growth of minors in the future.
