Fortnite receives several notices to avoid the addiction of its players in China. These messages were implemented in the game with patch 12.10.
In full hysteria for the coronavirus, Fortnite receives several warnings and recommendations to prevent addiction in China. These alerts were added in patch 12.10 of the game. Fortnite Chapter 2, which is currently in Season 2 of the Battle Pass, bets on parental control to prevent smaller children from playing more hours than they should.
Fortnite receives anti-addiction messages in the Chinese version
The iFireMonkey dataminer found several texts that were added to Fortnite Battle Royale during patch 12.10. These texts would refer to recommendations for use and reasonable game time for the Chinese version of the game.
New Warning Texts:
The following thread will be going over new strings added apparently to help stop people from having a "Fortnite addiction".
No clue if this is something you can turn on from parental controls of if it's forced on.

The previously inserted tweet is the first of a thread in which iFireMonkey published the texts it found that referred to this parental control measure for the Chinese version of Fortnite. We leave you an approximate translation of them below:
- "You have been connected three hours in a row. The rewards of the game will be reduced by 50% from now, and your progress in the challenges has been disabled. For your own health, please log out and rest. An adequate amount of physical exercise is good for your body. "
- "You have entered the fatigue period of the game. The rewards of the game will be reduced by 50% from now on, and the progress of the challenges has been deactivated. For your own health, please log out and rest. An amount Proper exercise is good for your body, and please organize your time intelligently. "
- "You have been playing for a number of hours that is not healthy. For your own health, please disconnect and rest immediately. If you do not disconnect, your health will be resentful. The rewards of the game have been reduced to zero and the progress of the challenges have been deactivated. They will not return to normal until your total disconnected time reaches five hours. "
According to iFireMonkey, all these texts would appear in the Chinese version of Fortnite if we have been playing for a long time, although in a later tweet he says he does not know if this applies to all accounts in that region, or if it is some kind of parental filter which is enabled in the accounts of underage users.
In any case, this only reminds us that the same video game can change a lot depending on the region in which it was launched. The behavior of the storm in Fortnite, for example, is different in China. Instead of losing health when we are inside it, we have an accountant that will kill us instantly if it reaches zero.
