Update: A Microsoft spokesperson has responded to PC Gamer s request for comment, saying “We are proceeding with the global migration of Mojang accounts to Microsoft accounts for Minecraft: Java Edition including for our players in South Korea. We’re working on a longer term solution for existing and new players under the age of 19 in South Korea and will have more to share on this later this year.”
Original story: Minecraft, the incredibly kid-friendly sandbox game, has essentially been slapped with an adults-only age rating in South Korea.
The bizarre restriction comes down to the country s Cinderella law, which pulls the plug on any child or teen hoping to play games with their mates into the early hours of the morning. The law s been in place since 2011 and means anyone under the age of 16 is prohibited from playing online videogames between midnight and 6 AM (thanks, GamesIndustry.biz).
