While there’s a lot to be worried about with this announcement, there’s also some nuance that is missing. Note that it’s mentioning online gaming, and online games in China tend to practice some of the most egregious monetisation tactics. Free-to-Play is the predominant business model for online games in China, and with that come all the usual nasties that we get in the West too, such as loot boxes, over-priced cosmetics, paid-for unlocks, etc.
