"Love and Deepspace Adds Face Verification in China"

Love and Deepspace is enhancing its security protocols in China by introducing a face verification system starting in April 2025. This might sound stringent, but if you're curious about its implications for the global version, I've got the details on that as well.

Why Is Love and Deepspace Adding Face Verification?

For Chinese players, this isn't a major shift as China already mandates strict real-name authentication for online games. The purpose is to prevent minors from accessing games rated 18+, which is the rating for Love and Deepspace in China. This move aligns with China's broader initiative to address gaming addiction among minors under the Minors' Protection Law. The country has been progressively tightening regulations on the gaming sector for years, imposing strict playtime limits for minors: 90 minutes on weekdays and three hours on weekends.

Additionally, games in China are required to display 'Healthy Gaming Advice' before gameplay begins, encouraging players to take breaks and avoid excessive gaming. Facial recognition technology is already integrated into daily life in China, used for security measures at airports and banks.

What Does It Mean for Us?

For players outside of China, this change likely won't have any impact since these verification systems are tailored to meet China's specific regulatory requirements. Love and Deepspace retains a 12+ rating in most global app stores, and there's no indication that a face verification system will be implemented globally in the future.
