Face Verification Added to Chinese Version of Love and Deepspace

Love and Deepspace is set to enhance its security measures in China with the introduction of a face verification system in April 2025. While this may sound a bit intense, it aligns with existing regulations in the country. If you're curious about the implications for the global version of the game, I have some insights to share.

Why Is Love and Deepspace Adding Face Verification?

For Chinese players, this new system isn't much of a surprise. China already mandates strict real-name authentication for online games, especially to prevent minors from accessing games rated 18+, which is the rating for Love and Deepspace in China. This move is part of a broader initiative under China's Minors' Protection Law aimed at combating gaming addiction among young players. The country has implemented various measures over the years, including strict playtime limits: 90 minutes on weekdays and three hours on weekends.

Additionally, games are required to display 'Healthy Gaming Advice' before gameplay begins, encouraging players to take breaks and maintain a healthy balance. Facial recognition technology is already widely used in China for security purposes, such as in airports and banks, making this new feature a natural extension of existing practices.

What Does It Mean for Us?

For players outside of China, this change likely won't have any impact. The verification system is specifically tailored to comply with China's regulations. Love and Deepspace remains rated 12+ in most global app stores, and there are no indications that a face verification system will be added to the international version in the foreseeable future.

What are your thoughts on this new feature? We'd love to hear your comments. In the meantime, don't miss out on the latest events and updates in Love and Deepspace. You can download the game from the Google Play Store.
