"You don’t need to do a lot of things, you don’t even need to think about anything,” said Yu Ting, a 28-year-old accountant in the northeastern city of Tianjin. “It’s not a competitive game, so it’s very relaxing.”
The game also has a strong connection to child rearing. Before the frog leaves on a trip, you have to pack its lunch. And in Chinese, the word for “frog,” wa, is a homophone for a word for “baby.”
“My friends and I all call the frogs our ‘frog sons,’ ” said Gao Lang, 22, a graduate student in Beijing. “After raising this frog, I suddenly understand the feeling of being a parent, at least partly. And I think when I am traveling somewhere far in the future, I will try to send some photos to my parents.”

My understanding is that the Chinese will eat just about anything so maybe caring for a virtual frog is a step in the right direction.
No babies = virtual frogs.
Bandai digimon Japanese virtual pets-- Tamagotchi--prepared the Japanese to not show up for the future.
Video game makers wrestle with how to engage with females since they aren't usually interested in multi player shoot em up games. While it's no Tetris it sounds like an interesting alternative.
It is available in the Google Play store if one is curious to see what they're talking about. Lots of guessing for those who don't read Chinese. Suggested in the store for those looking at the frog game is Purrrfect Spirits, a game about cute cats and ghosts.
Them Orientals are inscrutable.
It's something you can control in a society bent on controlling you.
I’m Nobody! Who are you?
Are you – Nobody – too?
Then there’s a pair of us!
Don’t tell! they’d advertise – you know!
How dreary – to be – Somebody!
How public – like a Frog –
To tell one’s name – the livelong June –
To an admiring Bog!
Raise Giant Frogs
A New, Uncrowded Industry
Good Profits – No Competition
Each pair of “Nufond Giant” breeders lay 10,000 eggs every year. With modern methods, up to 90% turn into frogs.
Giant frogs sell up to $5.00 per dozen everywhere.

The Great Depression must have been a bitch.
I wonder if any Chinese athlete ever thought of taking the knee when they play the Chinese National Anthrm.
Interesting that both China and Japan are trying to get young people to emerge from their solitary, virtual lives and experience real lives. From what the futurists tell us, though, virtual is the future. Sad.

I don't see what's so great about it?
