Stan Lee Introduces Augmented Reality For His Kids UniverseSorry, Chinese gamers but Pokémon GO probably won’t be coming to you anytime soon. The mobile game hasn’t been available in China since it launched last summer, and Chinese regulators will probably keep it that way. China’s concernsThe announcement comes after the China Audio/Video and Digital Publishing Association raised concerns about personal safety, as noted by Reuters. And note at least that the government isn't considering banning all augmented-reality location-based apps--only those that are mobile games. This seems as though it will be difficult to monitor, and likely would not impact digital games revenue much as youth under age 18 are typically asleep during those hours.
