Tencent has introduced a system in PUBG Mobile to monitor the recreation of players under the age of 18
While PUBG Mobile is being criticized in a number of countries for its negative impact on young people, Tencent is diligently solving the problem of user healthcare. A Chinese company has provided battle royale with a new system that encourages players to spend less time on it.
How the system works:
- at the first launch of the application, the so-called “gaming recommendations” for players under the age of 18 pop up. The user must confirm with a special button that he has read them;
- next, the system calls new pop-up windows with a certain frequency. They are a reminder to stop the game.
With what frequency these reminders appear, Tencent did not report.
According to GameSpot, the system has been launched in India, Indonesia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Later, PUBG Mobile will be updated in the same way for other regions — where it has not yet been closed at the state level. *
* It is reported that the same system works in PUBG Mobile versions for Nepal and Iraq, but in these countries, according to recent information, the game was banned.
This innovation is one of many steps taken by Tencent to combat child gambling addiction. For example, the gaming giant has introduced a “Lock“ system for Chinese children under the age of 16. They cannot log in to games without parental consent. In addition, all Chinese under the age of 18 were banned from playing for more than two hours a day.
However, this does not apply to the Chinese version of PUBG Mobile, since it was canceled. Instead, Tencent has released the battle royale Game for Peace to the Chinese market.
