Malaysia Gamers Face Night Curfew

Posted by Zonk on from the not-called-warcrack-for-nothing dept.

Nanook writes "A Malaysian city have issued a midnight curfew for online games to curb the growing addiction problem. From the article: 'Gaming areas will need a separate entertainment license and will be required to close at midnight, even at weekends. Local lawmakers say they plan to deploy teams of officers to check on popular internet spots. Those found playing games after midnight will be told to leave, while cafe owners who ignore the rules face having their licenses withdrawn.'"

    Next in the news : all casinos, bar, entertainmment centers of ANY kind, including opera, theater and cinemas, and also discos will be closed at midnight under pain of prison.

    We are the Early risers. We have to wake up early, so we have to go to bed early.
    And we didn't get invited to those parties anyway.
    Feel our wrath !
