China to Invest Heavily in 'Healthy' Games

Posted by Zonk on from the government-subsidized-pwning dept.

In the wake of a new body in the Chinese government set to determine the healthiness of video games, China has pledged to invest 240 million dollars in healthier online games. The "PCBang" phenomenon so popular in South Korea is spreading into China as well, making this a big industry for the government to be subsidizing. Commentary on the social implications of online games is available at TerraNova as well.

    When playing Everquest always remember to take a break once a day for 15 minutes and bathe regularly. A clean body is a healthy body.
