Gossip: World Flipper China Server Adds IP Display, Players Fear a New Wave of Crackdowns

Recently, a user reported that the China server of 'World Flipper' implemented an IP location display feature after an update. The original poster exclaimed, 'Is a new wave of crackdowns (Big Battle Royale) coming?'

The community reaction was swift. Players were confused as to why a game would need to display user locations. Commenters began analyzing the situation, noting that since the server is operated by Leiting Games, this was likely not a voluntary move by the publisher, but rather compliance with external regulatory pressure. Some users pointed out that rumors had been circulating that the gaming industry would soon be subjected to the same IP display policies as social media platforms.

Debates over the legal basis followed. Many players questioned if there are actual regulations forcing game developers to implement this, noting that current rules primarily target social media. One cynical player mocked the decision, pointing out that since the game lacks a real-time chat feature—with player names and signatures being the only editable fields—the implementation of this feature is entirely redundant and absurd.
