The Chinese are Controlling Online Games

The Chinese government is controlling what kind of game its youth is playing and anything that has to do with forbidden religion and political material will not be allowed to be used. The same is applicable to other media outlets like radio, newspapers, and TV. Distributors will have to obtain permission before they release any game and they have to report a monthly monitoring survey. The number of online game players has made it to 28 million from 13.8 million where it was in 2003. Revenue generated through online games is expected to reach $850 million this year.
