Abstract
The regulation of the game industry by the Korean government is closely related to the specific regulatory behavior from their parents' generation regarding gaming behavior of their children. This is because there exists a gap in terms of digital culture experience between parents and children. This study examined the differences in how moral values affect the awareness or perceptions of the game users. In the results, the norm conformity was found to have a negative influence on the fondness for game users. Age was also shown to have a negative influence on the fondness for the game users. Based on these findings, we also found the mediating effect of age existed specifically with regard to the relation of norm conformity and the fondness for the game users. The results suggest that the game industry promotion policies of Korea should change their existing targets from focusing on everyone to just the elderly.
