South Korea has finally implemented what has been dubbed the “Cinderella Law” which blocks players under the age of 16 from playing online games between midnight and 6am.
This will also affect online services such as PlayStation Network and Xbox Live, Gamasutra reports.
The law was first proposed to counter the possibility of video game addiction thought by the Korean government to be growing rapidly.
