CTOnews.com June 11 news, in recent years, there have been a lot of unattended shared game consoles in major shopping malls, attracting the interest of many consumers. CTOnews.com noted that the console can play hundreds of console games such as PS, Xbox and Nintendo by scanning the code, giving users an one-stop gaming experience. However, this game format also has many problems, such as high prices, pirated software, minors addicted and so on.

According to upstream news reports, the threshold for the operation of unattended shared game consoles is not high, and equipment suppliers provide an assembly package, including hardware and software, and operators only need to solve the problem of venue rental. The supplier takes 10% of each transaction, and the payment platform takes 0.6% of each transaction, and the account is divided in real time. The cost of a set of equipment is about 5,000 to 6,000 yuan, but it contains 100 pirated game software. Suppliers say frankly that if they pay special attention to copyright issues, there is nothing to talk about.

Some operators say that it is not profitable to do this business because areas with high traffic have been occupied and there are not many people playing games. Generally speaking, it costs 48 yuan for 60 minutes, 88 yuan for 120 minutes and 158 yuan for 240 minutes. There is also a discount package, the more you recharge, the more you give away. The main customers are students and young people, although there are anti-addictive prompts on the game console, but there is no built-in anti-addictive function. Operators say they will conduct regular inspections to interfere with minors playing games alone or excessively.

Legal experts point out that unattended shared game consoles are suspected of infringing the copyright of game software. If a supplier illegally copies and distributes pirated game software, if the amount of illegal gains obtained is huge or other especially serious circumstances exist, he or she shall face fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years and not more than seven years. The infringement of the franchisee or operator of the shared game may more belong to the civil category, but it does not rule out the accomplice of the host manufacturer's criminal offence because of the lottery. Shopping malls allow pirated electronic entertainment devices to operate in shopping malls, and local cultural law enforcement agencies may impose administrative penalties.
