"Love and Deepspace Adds Face Verification in China"

Love and Deepspace is set to enhance its security protocols in China with the introduction of a face verification system in April 2025. This might seem a bit intense, but don't worry, I've got the scoop on what this means for both Chinese and global players.

Why Is Love and Deepspace Adding Face Verification?

For Chinese players, this isn't a groundbreaking change. China already mandates strict real-name authentication for online games, particularly to prevent minors from accessing games rated 18+, like Love and Deepspace. This new face verification system aligns with China's ongoing efforts to combat gaming addiction among minors, as stipulated by the Minors' Protection Law. The country has been enforcing tighter regulations on the gaming industry for years, including strict playtime limits for minors—90 minutes on weekdays and three hours on weekends.

Additionally, games in China must display a 'Healthy Gaming Advice' message before players can start, encouraging them to take breaks and avoid excessive gaming. Facial recognition is already a common feature in China, used for security in places like airports and banks, making this new system a natural fit within the country's existing framework.

What Does It Mean for Us?

For players outside of China, there's no need to worry. The face verification system is tailored to comply with China's specific regulations. Love and Deepspace maintains a 12+ rating in most global app stores, so it's unlikely that this feature will be implemented in the global version, now or in the future.

What are your thoughts on this new feature? We'd love to hear your comments. In the meantime, don't miss out on Love and Deepspace's latest events and updates. You can download the game from the Google Play Store to stay in the loop.
