Abstract
As online game addiction of youth becomes a serious social problem, various regulations restricting their game play have been introduced. However, it is considered that forced shut-down, selective shut-down, and other regulations have no effect, and theoretical debates about the necessity of regulations also continue. Therefore, this study theoretically re-examines the necessity of youth game regulations by the discussion on domestic and international policy trends and existing research. In order to confirm empirical evidence of the effectiveness of regulations, this study compares and analyses the change of youth's game play time and patterns before and after the regulations. According to the results, the effect of the regulations is inadequate so this study proposes reasonable improvement ways of them through convergent approach including legal, political, and technological perspective.
