While the whole world is going crazy about the universe, unexpectedly, the game trend of “playing real claw machines online (!?)”, which is a bit completely reverse in concept, is also quietly gaining popularity – the important thing is that once you get it, it can be delivered to your home! Now Google Play is preparing to add this type of game to the experience certification mechanism to further manage this type of game so that qualified players can be filtered out (after reading the reviews, it actually really needs management…).

The pre-test plan of Google Play’s online doll clipping game, which will be delivered to your home after clipping, is about to start.

Japan is also coming to grab the claw machine business! The pre-test plan of Google Play’s online doll clipping game will be launched soon after it is delivered to your home.
If you are a fan of claw machines, but you don’t like virtual games, and you are tired of playing claw machines that are basically everywhere in Taiwan’s cities. Or maybe you just like the feeling of traveling to Japan and playing local claw machines. Then, the “online doll clamping game”, which can be played by directly controlling the claws of a claw machine far away from abroad through the App, has long been a new world for you to relieve stress.
In fact, this game type has been around for a while. And not only Japan, but also the United States and other countries have similar game application services. Its main feature is not only the ability to play the real doll machine remotely, but also many apps support services that can help you send these achievements after you actually catch the doll – it is as if you are actually participating in the game process. This, especially now that it is difficult to travel abroad, is quite attractive.
However If there is a claw machine, there will be Jianghu In fact, if you have done a little research on the game reviews of these online claw machines, it should not be difficult to see in the negative reviews. Dissatisfaction about not receiving the items often appears. It is also surprising that although there may be operational errors, there may also be consumer disputes such as fraud or shipping issues in these games.
Regarding this situation, I didn’t expect that Google Play officials would actively choose to cooperate with Japanese industry organizations – yes, this type of game has actually developed the “Japan Online Clip-on Game Industry Association (JOCA)”! It can be seen that its scale is really beyond the editor’s imagination to a certain extent. I believe the relevant industry players should also be worried that this kind of game will be stigmatized due to malicious business practices, right?
Google Play announced that it will cooperate with JOCA to provide a certification mechanism for online doll game applications. A one-year pre-test program will be launched on July 11, 2022. After that, operators who have not applied for this program will be dealt with for application-related regulations that violate the cash transaction gambling, gaming and competition policy. Three months before the start of the pre-test plan is a grace period, which is to hope that all Japanese online clip-on doll game companies listed on Google Play can become certified partners – it is also mentioned that representatives of other industry associations can also apply to become partners.
In short, after all, such a game will involve the issue of whether the prizes are delivered normally. Therefore, after passing the certification, Google Play will be able to develop a complete management structure and user security measures with the assistance of JOCA. Certified businesses will be able to pass the certification application of this program based on the management mechanism, certification policies and procedures, the status of implementation of specifications and regular audits of developers’ compliance with regulations, as well as the credibility evaluation of industrial organizations by local consumer protection authorities, regulatory agencies and legal agencies – you can check out the detailed specifications.Official description page。
I believe that with the certification of official cooperation with industry players, this newly emerging hybrid game type of virtual reality will have longer-term development possibilities. This allows users to play such games on Google Play with peace of mind.
