Previously, National Press and Publication Administration required all online game companies to provide minors with 1 hour of service only on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and statutory holidays from 20 to 21 o'clock each day; Provide game services to users who have not registered and logged in in any form, etc.
During the investigation, the reporter found that some well-known game companies performed well. Minors are not allowed to log in outside of the above-mentioned time. However, there are currently mixed games on the market, and many children are still immersed in games during the "Eleventh" holiday.
"How long do you play games every day?" The reporter asked a 13-year-old child.
"Perhaps, it will take at least two or three hours."
"Can minors log in? How do you authenticate?" the reporter asked.
"Use my dad's ID card."
Some children told Chinanews.com reporters that "There are still some games that do not require authentication at all, and they can be played without limitation."

The reporter also noticed that some stand-alone games do not require identity authentication at all, or even registration, not to mention distinguishing minors and limiting the length of the game. On game platforms such as 4399, some games marked with stand-alone versions can be opened and entered.
Some games have not yet implemented the New Deal for online gamesDuring the investigation, the reporter found that some game companies have not implemented the new online game policy until the "November" holiday.
In the experience, the reporter found that " defend carrot 2 " can still play normally before waiting for the real-name authentication result. What's interesting is that a few days have passed and the authentication result is still waiting.

The reporter's investigation also found that many mobile games currently support offline local storage, and the data is synchronized after networking. The boundary between stand-alone games and online games is becoming more and more blurred. Whether the New Deal for online games can limit such games remains to be further clarified by relevant departments. .
For example, some mobile games can be played in offline mode, but at the same time they have shopping malls and recharge purchases that are unique to online games. These services must be connected to the Internet to complete; there are also games that can choose cloud storage and local storage. Are these games stand-alone games or online games?
Parental attitude or the key to preventing game addiction
With the new online game policy, some minors still go their own way and are addicted to games. Why? The attitude of the parents may be one of the keys.

"If you don't let you play, you can cry and make trouble. In the end, there is no way. I will use my ID card to authenticate." Many parents said to the Chinanews reporter, "Moderate games are fine, and it is completely banned. No, the people around you are like this, what can be done?"
Some parents said that there is no time to control at all, and the child will be quiet if you give a mobile phone. "If you don’t remind, the child can sit there and play with the mobile phone until the battery is dead. "But many parents shook their heads in opposition to recharging games for minors.
In the future, the supervision of games for minors may be further tightened. Recently, the Game Working Committee of the China Music and Digital Association initiated the online game industry anti-addiction self-discipline convention, which was jointly initiated by 213 units to resolutely implement the time limit for providing online games to minors and top-up consumption quotas.
The convention puts forward that “all kinds of stand-alone and console games must synchronize internal defense addiction settings and parental monitoring systems, and real-name authentication must be strictly implemented in downloading and purchasing.”
In addition, the “China Children’s Development Outline” issued by the State Council a few days ago (2021-2030)" proposes to implement national unified electronic identity authentication for minors in online games, and improve the classification of game products, content review, time limit and other measures. This means that it will be more difficult for to exploit loopholes in identity authentication in the future.
