A new law has come into action today in the Japan, limiting young gamers to just one hour of play time per day. As reported by Siliconera, Japan’s Kagawa prefecture government passed a law on March 21 that severely limits the amount of time spend gaming that anyone under 18 years old can take part in per day.
The law states that children may only play games for up to 60 minutes per day on any given weekday, and only 90 minutes at the weekend.
Smartphone use will also be limited under the new law, too, allowing children to use the devices until 10pm and no later. Enforcement of the law isn't going to be too severe, though.
