Come March 3, and nerd heads and online gamers in Vietnam might start thinking about migrating away from that country. Well, if you’re not a very nerdy online gamer, then this news would just be a laughing stock. The country’s Ministry of Information and Communication has asked internet service providers to block access to online games between 10pm and 8am in Vietnam. There go your late-night raids.

“Provincial departments of information and communication will inspect on-line games activities nationwide and deal with organizations that violate regulations by canceling their services,” said the ministry’s Deputy Minister Le Nam Thang (via Info.VN).

The measure seems to target Vietnam’s youth who spend their nights in game parlors, but online game operators say that this measure will make gaming more difficult for adults who want to game as well as make a living during daytime harder. There goes your gaming life buddy. Get a girlfriend; that should help. May I suggest Elly Tran Ha?

The Vietnamese government will revise this decree sometime this year and make improvements. Not sure how one can improve an internet curfew, but good luck with that. Suddenly I felt pity for a certain Mr Yeo.
