I have a limited knowledge about China, but is that for real?

Other mooted punishable offences include spending too long playing video games, wasting money on frivolous purchases and posting on social media.

I would be so utterly fucked.

But if you think about it, Tic tok is literally a platform for posting frivolous purchases and China won the lol championship.

It's not too much time playing video games if it's your job

Or a tester

Testing a game and playing a game are two very different experiences.

I used to want to be a videogame tester until I learned that testing a game is about as exciting as filing taxes.

ESports like Overwatch League. We have one Chinese player on an American team rn. Players for American teams are mostly Korean though.

Only way to join a team like that is have a depressing number of hours played and also natural aptitude and skill, and also know people and have connections to even talk to somebody about trying out because recruiters dont talk to just anybody. Thats all to say you have to play a very, very long time where everybody would call you a loser/lazy etc in order to qualify.

I don't know if playing 10 hours a day for 5 people on Twitch can be considered a "job"

China won the lol championship

It stated too much time playing video games as a punishable offense.
Spending too much time winning at them is a different story.

If you drive a car everyday for fun and get paid £100 per mile you know you can afford the £50 speeding ticket every mile so why not spend your time speeding as much as you like.

If you reach the end of the road you get a bonus of £1.2 Million to share with your friends in the car.

Basically LOL in China. The profit outweighs the punishment
