Yesterday China lifted its blanket ban on approving new video game titles by approving 80 new games. The largest gaming company Tencent was left off the list of publishers having been under fire for not adapting to the new standards of the Chinese regulatory body. In response Tencent started to enforce Chinese regulations having people register their ages and identities in November.
