Dunno how this will work tbh, it's just a proposal.

"The tweet is a bit misleading. It's not a law yet. The guideline is in the process of public consultation.

The guideline does intend to limit excessive spending in online games. It plans to prohibit daily login bonus, top-up reset, and consecutive top-ups. It also plans to demand online games set player spending limits and discourage players from unreasonable spendings through in-game pop ups.

Edit: another important point, the guideline intends to demand online games who utilise "pulling system" to set reasonable rates that do not induce excessive spending. Also these online games need to create virtual currencies that can be used to obtain virtual items of same utilities and other value-added services."

Knowing China, it's probably some politician getting bored and throwing dart at shit to ban again.
