NetEase releases gaming limits for children for upcoming holidays

NetEase Games on Monday released specific dates and time slots during which Chinese children will be permitted to play its video games during the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays.

Children will not be allowed to access its games on Sept. 14, 29 and Oct. 12, the company said in a statement.

China in 2021 introduced rules that limit the amount of time those under 18 can play video games, a move it said was to combat gaming addiction.
