The problem is not really the inventive way of implementing the game penalization (instead of cutting off access hobble the game experience). It is quite a clever and soft way to wane off the game. The problem is that it is imposed on players without them having a recourse or the possibility to adapt the mechanism to their own benefit (like parents trying to curtail children's playing time, or if you want to limit your own playing time tonight because tomorrow you have to get up early).
