Tencent to limit play time of top-grossing game for children

Chinese games are already required to implement "anti-addiction systems" for people under the age of 18. In PC games rewards are removed after more than a certain number of hours of play.

It looks like mobile games had somehow escaped this, until now.

this is a fantastic sounding system that would (hopefully) discourage predatory game design, and perhaps force developers to focus more on creating engaging gameplay rather than manipulating players' addiction instincts.

I'm not sure those 2 things are cleanly separable
