The screws are tightening in China. Regulators are cracking down on the country's booming online gaming industry, by committing to heavier policing of fringe content and beefing up the approval process. Authorities are also prohibiting foreign companies from participating in the market.

Shouldn't this help the established players, though? Keeping foreign competitors out and burdening any upstarts should benefit the companies that already have successful games on the market. As long as those who are tightening the screws know when to say when -- and the last thing China wants is rebellious youth stripped of a diversion -- October's pain will pay off in the end.

What is your opinion?
