>As if the PlayStation censorship policies aren’t enough, Sony wants to add to the turmoil and distress of its already strained and sullen audience by introducing “countermeasures” to gaming addiction in response to the World Health Organization set to label video game addiction as an international disease.
>According to Mainichi, they quoted Sony CEO Kenichiro Yoshida, who told the press on May 22nd, 2019…
>“We need to take it seriously and adopt countermeasures,” […]
>“We’ve already implemented a ratings system (to restrict players by age) and have been taking measures based on our own standards”
>What Yoshida is referring to with Sony’s “own standards” is the censorship policies they’ve been using to punish developers into censoring their games and removing content to fit the ideological standards Sony has setup beyond what’s required by the regional ratings boards.
>This has crippled some developers to the point where Kenichiro Takaki ended up departing from Marvelous due to the policies.
>What’s worse, though, is that we have no idea what these “countermeasures” are supposed to be. Yoshida makes no effort to explain them, according to Mainichi.
>Most people don’t even think that the World Health Organization adding video game addiction to the international index of diseases is warranted. The addition of gaming as an addiction was reportedly spurred on by South Korea and China.
>Various scholars have written open letters rejecting the notion that gaming addiction needed to be added to the updated ICD-11 database, but WHO decided to move forward with it anyway.
>We don’t know exactly what Yoshida has planned for the PlayStation ecosystem, but countermeasures to prevent addiction are already a thing in South Korea and China in the form of militarized rehabilitation camps to help break teens and young adults from gaming and the internet, as reported by The Next Web and Mother Jones.
>Other less extreme measures have also been employed recently in both countries as well. South Korea has gaming curfews for those under a certain age, as reported by the CGI Clinic. China is adopting more… technologically savvy methods for dealing with limited time spent gaming, with Tencent making use of the facial recognition scanners used by the social credit system to log and limit the amount of time users are able to play certain games.
>Sony already has a parental control system in place, so I’m not sure how much further these “countermeasures” will go in curbing what Yoshida believes to be gaming addiction. But in connection with the already draconian censorship policies, there’s absolutely nothing good coming out of more censorship and restrictions.

No, they don't WANT to do this shit. China is constantly looking for ways to curb addictions by instilling laws to keep people from doing things they like. They have that social score already that lowers a persons score if they play too many video games. This is Sony responding to the possibility of being removed from a market due to laws that may block their addictive walking simulators. Everything they do, they do to appease China. I'm sure places like Reddit are celebrating this announcement because the sheep think corporations are their friends. It's all lip service anyway.

It'll just be some analogue to parental controls so parents can limit kids' time spent on the console. The only thing they can implement against anyone playing for long periods is a periodic "You've been playing for a long time, you ought to take a break." reminder. Anything else would be shooting themselves in the foot big time, we're a long way from GAAS becoming a thing, and even when we are close to it being feasible people still aren't going to fall for it en masse.
Also I simultaneously think that listing "gaming addiction" as an illness and being opposed to it is stupid. Addiction in general should be recognized as an illness, along with any other addiction that doesn't have a chemical component.

What Soyny really means by "addiction" is people pirating older (and thus, better) games to play whenever they want, and not paying attention to any of the modern shit being released, even less caring about paying for any of it, be it modern games or modern (in this case, Soyny) consoles.
That is the "addiction" that Soyny wants to end. The notion of getting a better game, for free, anywhere, anytime, and playing it whenever you want to, and keeping it forever in your backup, without the need to ever give money to Soyny and their modern pieces of shit products.

Another thing to consider, about Soyny's use of the word "addiction":
Companies are labeling anyone that demands quality as being "someone obsessive". In the typical subversion used by their marxist owners, they are trying to associate being critical of one's product/work, or being demanding of high quality, as being "an addict" that "obsesses over 'small' details". Not only Soyny, but many companies already have their employees attack consumers in that way, trying to link demand for high quality with "being an obsessive addicted". You can expect Soyny's (and other companies') PR trying to push a new fallacy about "real gamers must avoid those obsessive people that always complain about quality" soon. They will directly call for people to "not mix with those who demand quality, or you will become an addict like them". They will use the label of "addicted" as means to ban anyone that demands their shitty products to be better, or simply for pointing out the flaws in their decadent and low quality products.
All in the name of trying (and certainly, failing) to create their so desired complete mindless consumer base who never demand quality and never question nor criticize the company, resorting to simply buying everything over and over again.
<In short: Soyny will label anyone that demands quality as "an addicted to games", using the excuse that being criticizing their products is the behavior of someone "obsessed".
