Considering the slope they're sliding down constantly, China is going to be very interesting in 20 years.

Down the slope, up the GDP charts.

There is a simple way around this. Disable player killing for minors. Of course, FPS games would be difficult; you would have to have players teleport or something.

I don't know if this is good for China. It drives game developers away.

No, it is not good for China, nor any other nation. Its more pointless social meddling that China's government loves to do.

Online games are huge in south east asia, and this will seriously hurt their game developers.


Unfortunately all politicians of the world, not just China's, believe that ignorance is not a deterrent from lawmaking.

Heyyo,

That wasn't the ESRB's fault, again it was idiot politicians looking to score some quick political points by sensationalising something insignificant.

Well maybee the age of 18 is a bit to high.
But i think its a good thing to prevent very young minors from see that stuff.
The kills you can make in some of the games are just to gross.
And it's very high detailed looking like humans. Not like the abstract violence in lets say tom and jerry.
