Tencent to curb children's online gaming time
Tehran (KNA) - Chinese tech giant Tencent Holdings is tightening checks on the age of people playing online games, as China tries to tackle gaming addition.
Earlier this year, Tencent introduced a registration system for its hugely popular game Honour of Kings.
The system, which checks players' identities and ages against a police database, will apply to all Tencent games by 2019, media reports said.
It will mean children under 12 will only be able to play for an hour a day.
Older children can play for up to two hours, but not during a night time curfew.
