In this whole article there are only two paragraphs that are not useless word salad:

The government now wants to set a cap on how much money each player can spend within a title, according to the draft.

The regulations also asked that game publishers operating abroad respect Chinese laws and culture and refrain from endangering national security, without elaborating. Tencent is the world’s largest gaming publisher, with investments in studios from Epic Games Inc. in the US to Supercell in Europe. The agency will take feedback on the proposed rules for a month, without saying when they take effect.

Bonus reddit gamer cope:

I can get behind prohibiting these sorts of mechanics. Don't think they really add anything of substance. Though I would prefer that companies and the industry self-regulate rather than having the government step in, but that's unlikely to happen.

Look at this idiot that believes in corporations regulating themselves. I bet he thinks children who believe in Santa (a very real phenomenon whom I once saw in a mall) are stupid.

Incoming horde of western gamers angry that China doesn't enforce regulations in foreign markets for their companies.

Western gamers would prefer to bled dry by corporations rather then being subject to asiatic authoriarianism.

This is their perfect moment, it hits everything they have ever wanted:

They directly benefit in clear and immediate fashion
They can claim to be victims of government oppression
They can be openly racist about it

Gacha paypigs crying loudly about how the CPC stopped them from financially ruining themselves by spending 5000 USD for a new waifu 5 times a year. How authoritarian.

Xi, please come for tcgs next, I want to build an mtg deck out of 4 booster packs because that's the max you can sell in a week, I'll import the Chinese ones if WotC refuses to follow Chinese regs in the "United States."
