This kind of reminds me of the Great Firewall of China, but on a much smaller scale. I think the government will have a tough time preventing all the work-arounds.

You are acting like they banned games. They did not. From what I understand, you cannot play a game for more than 6 hours straight. If you have got a problem with that time limit, especially if you are a young kid like what Korea is targeting, you need this.

It was a play on this poem, you nitwit.

I don't see how pointing out that the poem is based off a Holocaust poem demonstrates that the guy who says "you are overreacting" is wrong. If anything it would seem to prove his point.

No, because it was a play on the poem. The guy was not making a serious comparison between this and the Holocaust in order to show how bad he felt it was. Rather he was making a joke.

I think it only applies to LANs and other gaming establishments like arcades.

In related news, South Korean parents and politicians have just discovered that there is indeed an entire world outside of buildings, warmed by a giant yellow ball called the "sun."

If you're playing any game, MMO's included for six hours at a time, you need this limitation. I've been a big time player on several different MMO's (WoW, Maple, La Tale, other smaller games) up to a few years ago, and i'm literally sick to my stomach after playing for over three hours. The quality of my life (physically, emotionally, and mentally) has improved hundreds of times over since I stopped playing (which took absolutely no effort upon stumbling upon the realization of how much time I was wasting for nothing.) I haven't even had to exert any will over not going back to these games because I realize how terrible they are.

I'm sure people who are playing the game for a living will be exempt. The corporations that run ESPORTS must have lobbying power.

Guys, the ban lasts or 6 hours, not you can't play for more than 6 hours, which means you can't play certain games for a selected 6 hour period of the day. You can play at all other times. Also, the curfew mainly targets MMORPGs and so won't affect Esports.

If parents are allowing their kids to play for 6 hours straight then yeah, maybe there IS need for a state intervention.

the curfew could be 23 hours a day limit and it wouldnt matter the principle issue here is that the government is forcing people to behave in a certain way and restricting people's freedoms, which is not cool bro
