Tencent china has also launched a new entry in line with government decisions and has begun requiring players to submit digital face scans to prove they are not underage. This is because it can prevent video game addiction among young children.
This software that uses artificial intelligence understands that players are trying to trick the system, leaving the player offline when the scan request is rejected or fails. This system is used in all Tencent games between 22:00 and 08:00. AI is improving itself by learning from these failed attempts while detecting players who are trying to cheat to get over this control.
The system’s operating system is as simple as that, so if you try to play a game within the specified time interval, you need to use your phone’s camera to confirm your identity and age. In fact, it’s a situation that can be solved by parents by not giving the children a phone after that time, but the Chinese government wants the publishers to do their part in these matters.
Tencent is the largest publisher of games in China and holds 55% of the gaming market. Honor of Kings, the most popular mobile game in the country, is also signed by Tencent.
