China's method of dealing with online game addiction

Becoming addicted to online games? If you're living in China, the government has come up with a way to help you beat your gaming addiction.
The Chinese Government unveiled a new system Tuesday to prevent individuals from playing online games for more than three consecutive hours, which must be installed for every online game in the country.

"This timing mechanism can prevent young people from becoming addicted to online games," Kou Xiaowei, Deputy Director of the Audiovisual and Internet Publication Department of the General Administration of Press and Publication (GAPP), said during a press conference.
Maybe they're come up with something for TV addicts, book addicts, net addicts, and whatever form of addictions there are out there.
