Young Chinese gamers won’t have to worry about Fel Orcs, Forest Trolls, and Warp Stalkers when playing the Burning Crusade, so much as they will the newly appointed security guards patrolling the aisles at their local Internet cafe. It’s campaign time again in China, and from July 1 through the end of September, the Chinese Ministry of Culture will be stepping up efforts to keep minors out of the nation’s cyber cafes. In Beijing alone, 107 additional security guards, as well as newly trained middle school teachers will be supervising 71 such hangouts. Talk about a cruel summer.
