Video games（largely arcade games）popped up in mainland China in 1990s. At the beginning，game-playing venues were viewed as dangerous places，and the young addictive players were thought as losers and deviants. Video games，as sorts of “electronic heroin” accused of poisoning the youth，had been undergoing the condemnation from China's parents，the exposure in the press，and the restrictions by government. When games became increasingly accessible in everyday life，the concern on the chaotic game-playing venues subsided. However，so called “Internet Addiction”，resulting from the domination of MMORPGs（like World of Warcraft），ignited the public panic again in about 2004. The “Web Junkies”，who were obsessive about online games，were diagnosed to have “Internet Addiction”，so they need timely treatments accordingly. The public panic didn't come to an end until the ugly truth of anti-“Internet Addiction” industries were disclosed by investigative journalism. Today，video game is viewed as an acceptable form of daily entertainment. Firstly，traditional MMORPG（like WoW）were eclipsed by more game genres（like eSports）. And the business models of video games had been profoundly changed. Secondly，taking advantage of the slogan of “Minzu Games”，the administration had been prompting the domestic video game industries，by unlocking the restraints and even sponsoring some “minzu” game projects. Thirdly，the first generation of game-players had grown up and acquired the rights to speak for games. More and more game fans engaged in interest-related communities（like ACG fandoms）. Video game is not only everyday form of entertainment，but an integral part of social media in China now.
