After the announcement, major game manufacturers responded quickly, have said that they will strictly implement the new rules for minors to prevent addiction online games.
The impact of the new rules on the industry’s performance has been limited. In the fourth quarter of 2020, Tencent games, the industry leader, revealed that underage players accounted for only 6% of the total recharge rate, and players under 16 accounted for only 3.2%, which further dropped to 2.6% in the second quarter of this year. The rest of the game companies, including Bilibili, a popular community of interest for Gen Z, generally have less than 1 percent of revenue from minors, and no more than 1 percent of revenue from minors. Shanghai Securities also made statistics on the income share of minors in a number of listed old game companies featuring turn-based RPGS and MMORPGs. In many companies, minors account for less than 0.1% of recharge, and the new regulations have little impact on the income end of these companies.
2. About the version number
A new rule has set the gaming world on fire. In the future, online games will be tested in eligible free trade zones, according to the regulation.
