河南唐河县46岁的邱兴伟向法院提起诉讼，状告四家游戏厂商，要求共支付精神损害抚慰金10元[1]。这起看似象征性的赔偿背后，反映了游戏防沉迷系统的现实缺陷。邱兴伟表示，起诉的真正目的并非获取赔偿，而是督促游戏厂商完善防沉迷机制，堵住系统漏洞[1]。
邱兴伟的18岁儿子小豪长期沉迷网络游戏，在游戏《第五人格》中，从2024年3月17日至2026年4月23日累计游玩时间达到1868小时[1]。2026年5月23日凌晨，小豪吞服18粒退烧药，后被送往医院治疗[1]。事件发生后，邱兴伟于2026年6月向唐河县人民法院起诉四家游戏厂商，涉及13款网络游戏[1]。
截至2025年12月底，我国19岁及以下网民规模已达2.03亿人[1]，未成年人游戏沉迷问题日益突出，防沉迷系统的有效性成为亟待解决的课题。
A 46-year-old father from Tanghe County, Henan Province, has taken legal action against four gaming companies in an attempt to spotlight deficiencies in anti-addiction systems.[1] In June 2026, Qiu Xingwei filed a lawsuit with the Tanghe County People's Court seeking a combined 10 yuan in compensation for emotional distress, though he emphasized that financial recovery is not his primary objective.[1] His stated goal is to compel the gaming companies to strengthen their safeguards against gaming addiction and close existing loopholes.[1]
The lawsuit was prompted by a serious incident involving Qiu's 18-year-old son.[1] On the morning of May 23, 2026, the young man ingested 18 fever-reduction pills and was subsequently hospitalized for treatment.[1] According to court documents, the son had accumulated 1,868 hours of playtime in the game "Identity V" between March 17, 2024, and April 23, 2026.[1] Qiu's legal action targets thirteen online games offered by the four companies.[1]
The case underscores a broader concern about youth engagement with digital platforms. As of the end of December 2025, China's online population aged 19 and under had reached 203 million individuals, according to data from the China Internet Network Information Center.[1]
