I wonder what happens in something like an online game of chess? Would my Queen just decide to get up and walk away? Also since when do modern games use points in any meaningful way? Do they mean that creatures in games (like MMORPGs) would just stop dropping loot altogether? Would a kill in an FPS just not count if you're under 18?
This is the weird kind of regulation that some advocates in our side of the Pacific would like to set up, no? Seeing as how hating on games is the cool thing to do on the talking heads shows.
Be kind of funny to be playing an RPG for example and this pop up window saying "Entering Unhealthy Game Time" pop up. Like those shareware programs which annoy you when you don't register. |

if implemented correctly, "unhealthy game time" would show up on the startup screens of most jrpgs.

No, see, since there is a healthy game time per day they can now say "23+ Days worth of Health Game time!" and now rather than 70+ hours we have a time frame of completion.

| Would Bemani games be able to skirt around this rule since you actually have to get physical to achieve high scores in the games? |
