Korea to limit online gaming

In a move designed to protect gamers from themselves, a representative of the Korean Assembly will present a Bill to the government next month requiring online games companies to limit players' gametime to under 3 hours. Failure to do so may result in a proposed 10 million won (approximately £5,575) fine.

Korea is a world leader in online game consumption, and has witnessed a number of cases in which gamers have died from days of non-stop playing. The regulations would require games developers to include an automatic log-off after three hours for users under 18.
Crikey, that would be a nightmare... unmanageable so unlikely to happen, but a nightmare if it did!
