From anti-addiction systems to cybercafe crackdowns, the Chinese government has taken multiple steps to fight online game addiction. It's latest effort? Arresting the operator of online sex game Girlfriend Hut. Says an official spokesperson:
In recent years, internet games have become a booming and profitable market, but some games with a sexually explicit nature are corrupting China's vast number of young players.
Corrupting them as opposed to brainwashing them? The game raked in 30,000 yuan (US $3,900) from 700 paying players. Hardly a large scale operation!
Eds Note: Reader Grant just dropped us a line pointing out that pornography is illegal in China, which gives the government legal grounds to take against this web game.
