China regulator stops accepting video game applications
- Friday | 22nd February, 2019
In China, game companies file applications to local authorities which in turn submit them to the regulator. Tencent, GAPP and the Propaganda Department of the Communist Party of China, which oversees GAPP, did not respond to requests for comment. State-backed ThePaper.cn reported on Wednesday that a GAPP official confirmed the regulator had asked local authorities to stop submitting applications as it was making “adjustments”. The regulator resumed processing applications in December, with industry insiders estimating at least 5,000 games awaiting approval. Game companies will still be able to file applications to local authorities but they will no longer be passed on to the central regulator while it deals with applications already in hand, said a second person.
