Thai Gamers Work Around Curfew
from the that-didn't-work-so-well dept
If the goal of the Thai internet gaming curfew was supposed to get people to go home and sleep, it appears to have failed. While it has made gamers angry, it's also forced them to find other things to do when the game servers get shut down each night at 10pm. A number of them are simply switching over and playing LAN-games, PC-based games, or going onto IRC to chat. In other words, nothing has really changed, except they're upset at the government. Sounds like a useful curfew.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
