China's previously proposed gaming restrictions seem to have been scrapped, potentially avoiding worldwide implications for tools that can encourage spending excessive time and money on games.
As reported by the BBC (via GamesIndustry.biz), the National Press and Publication Administration's (NPPA) website no longer features the draft rules that would have limited the amount of time and money players can spend gaming. The restrictions, which were first reported in December 2023, were supposed to limit obsessive gaming behavior by banning incentives like daily log-in rewards, bonuses for first-time purchases, and more.
