HONG KONG: Tencent Holdings will expand an addiction-prevention system for underage gamers to all of its games, the company said on Nov 5, as the industry faces increased government scrutiny.
A “healthy gaming” system that includes time limits on daily play and can perform facial recognition-aided ID checks, already in use on Tencent's most popular Honour of Kings smartphone game, will be applied to nine other mobile games this year and expanded to cover all Tencent games next year, the company said in a post on its official WeChat account.
