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.

Commentary on the social implications of online games is available at TerraNova as well.
