Being a gamer in China can be challenging. The government keeps tight control on the industry, and Chinese gamers are only allowed to play titles approved by the government. Minors under 18 are only allowed to play video games three hours a week, between 8 PM-9 PM, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. For adults, playing video games too long or spending too much money on them can mean points deducted from their “social credit” score, a low enough score could result in travel and purchase bans or even having your dog taken away.
