Actually i believe this law is being implemented to counter the numerous deaths related to MMOS in china. I remember reading a few articles in the last year of players playing too much and end up dieing due to lack of.. other stuff. Anyways it might also be meant to be a blow to the gold farmers but they will find a way around it, guaranteed.

You mean you actually read and believe Chinese propaganda?
Think about it, the game industry creates an industry and thus taxes for the state. On the other hand China needs workers to produce something and not have any thought other than what the state tells them. That’s like reading in a China newspaper about how there is a world wide food shortage and now everyone must suffer and be rationed because of it. When in fact we have lots of food in the free world.
Have you not heard of Thesis, antithesis, and synthesis? The quickest route to political change?
1) The thesis is an intellectual proposition, such as children dying in china due to video games. It’s important to note that the Thesis does not have to exist in reality only to exist in the minds of people who believe it. For example "Global Warming" but that can be another discussion.
2) The antithesis is simply the negation of the thesis. Such as more regulation or opposition to video game playing. Playing video games for 3 hours instead of 4 or 5 hours will reduce your child’s chance of suicide (real or imagined). Your goal of course is step number 3.
3) The synthesis solves the conflict between the thesis and antithesis by reconciling their common truths, and forming a new proposition. For example more control over the computer dialogue in china and more laws governing who is saying what to who in Chinese chat rooms. Register your real name (has nothing to do with the thesis but creates a control factor) for the protection of the children for a safer "State" for all of China.
Honestly you need to question what you read in the newspapers more often.

It's like Nebraska in the United States. Some kid kills himself accidentally with a firecracker and O SHI BAN EXPLODING FIREWORKS cause everyone must be retarded.

Yes exactly despite the facts that fewer accidents occur with fireworks then handling a pet cat we can see the net results. The net result being more government control and regulation and less “fireworks” in the hands of "Free" American people. Since the fireworks example was given lets take a look at other "Laws" that are a result of fireworks now banned. Since that incident all chemicals (gun powder even though gun powder is not used in fireworks much) used in the manufacture of fireworks are now regulated and you have another form of Taxation in the forms of "fines" that give money to the "State".
It’s all about control whether its real or imagined.

I think this should be implemented world wide.
And the gouvernment DOES care. If you're playing an MMO you're not working.

People like you scare me. I do not exist for my government my government exists for me.
