Oppo Introduces New System To Curb Gaming Addiction

Oppo has released a new system that supports youngsters to give up on game addiction on smartphones. This happens as a result of the partnership between manufacturers, governments, and developers to tackle the game addiction on smartphones. For Oppo, the company has set up a system that asks its users to verify their information with ai aim to limit the purchases regarding the ages of gamers. And the system will be integrated on Oppo smartphones as a new feature, which requires users to verify themselves with some actual details before their game purchases or other game-related purchases. Following some sources that cite official reports, it will be mandatory for the users to verify themselves before they can make purchases. 

As stated by MyDrivers, a Chinese report, and noted by GizmoChina, the Oppo system for anti-gaming addiction will demand actual details of the users before their game purchases. The system will propose purchase limits regarding users' ages. In particular, the limit is up to following age categories.

Users who are under 8 will not be allowed to buy more than 50 CNY (approximately $7) for a single purchase, meanwhile, purchases for a month will not be higher than 200 CNY (approximately $28 a month). In addition, users who are in the age from 16 to 18 will not be allowed to make purchases that are more than 100 CNY (or $14) for a transaction, as well as 400 CNY ($57) a month.

This move of Oppo is supporting the Chinese government law regarding policies and rules that address gaming addiction on smartphones.

Tencent Games, the giant Chinese game developer as well as PUBG Mobile distributor, recently has also worked on some game trials so that it can limit the rising gaming addiction. In line with the ruling of the government last year, the company also set up a time restriction for gamers. Prior to that, the company had put a restriction applied for players who are under 13 in China. The company, in addition, had also promoted a feature named Health Reminder for gamers in India last year, in which users are given several hours per day for gaming.
