The article states that "authorities stepped in" and that this is at the very least some type of public-private partnership where "the gaming platform’s facial verification system" is "linked with big data from the central public security system".
My inclination is to assume this is compelled by the Chinese state.

Games were an anonymous chat outlet before, so they are closing on that now with radical actions. Now I believe they will be feeding game chats to their version of PRISM, and want to tie them to reliable real world identities. Basically, chicoms want to close any way for a chat message to not to have a reliable ID matched to it.
