게임산업은 21세기 정보화 사회의 문화 컨텐츠 산업의 한 분야이다. 멀티미디어, 3차원 그래픽, 3차원 음향, 가상 현실 분야, 캐릭터 산업 등과 맥락을 같이 하는 핵심 기술 집약 산업이며, 문화적 파급효과와 규모가 점점 커지고 있는 산업이다. 그러나 국내의 게임 개발 능력은 선진 미국이나 일본에 비하여 낙후되어 있다. 정책적으로 게임 개발 지원 사업이 행하여지고 있으나 게임 컨텐츠 영역보다는 인터넷 게임 혹은 3차원 그래픽 엔진 개발 등 게임 소프트웨어 엔진 개발에 치중되어 있는 것이 현실이다. 한편 미국 PC게임 시장에서 만 8세 이하의 아동용 게임 시장은 전체 게임 시장의 삼분의 일을 차지하는 거대 시장이다. 재미요소와 교육요소가 접목된 아동용 게임은 컨텐츠 위주의 산업으로 짧은 개발 기간에 고부가가치를 창출할 수 있는 산업이기 때문이다. 본 연구는 기존의 컴퓨터 게임에 관해 고찰하고, 아동의 연령별 특징에 적합한 게임요소의 추출과 새로운 게임 컨텐츠를 제안한다는 것을 목적으로 한다. 앙케이트 조사와 프로토콜 분석 및 연령별 성장기 특징의 문헌 조사를 통해 기존의 게임 장르에 추가하여 'Asports', 'Asim', 'U.J RPG', 'S+RPG'가 성장기별 아동 발달에 유익하다는 결론을 도출 할 수 있었다.

매년 수많은 게임이 출시되면서 유저들이 게임을 즐기는 방법도 다양해졌다. 이중 게임을 바탕으로 유저가 창의성을 더해 2차 저작물을 제작하는 방법이 주류를 이루고 있다. 자신이 좋아하는 게임에 대한 애정을 표현하는 한 가지 방법이라고 할 수 있으며, 이러한 2차 창작 활동은 유저의 심리적인 만족감을 채워주는 것과 동시에 게임의 홍보기능도 한다. 하지만 게임사마다 2차 저작물과 관련된 규제가 다르며 유저들은 그 규제를 모르는 경우가 많아 원저작자의 권리를 침해하기도 한다. 본 논문에서는 2차 창작 활동에 대한 유저의 의견과 게임사의 정책 및 대응을 조사하고 유저와 게임사 모두가 만족할 수 있는 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

국내 디지털콘텐츠 산업은 최근 3년간 연평균 35%가 넘는 증가율을 보인 초고속 성장산업이자 고부가가치 산업이다. 하지만 수출지역이 중국과 동남아지역에 편중되고 PC기반 온라인게임에 치중돼 있다는 지적을 낳고 있다. 또 지금껏 경쟁우위를 지켜왔던 온라인게임 분야도 중국의 추격과 글로벌 경쟁구도가 현실화되고 있다. 따라서 정부도 세계시장의 90%이상을 차지하고 있는 미국, 일본 등 선진시장에서의 본격적인 경쟁 전략이 필요한 것으로 보고 이에 따른 육성정책을 수립한 상태다.

This study surveyed 503 adults to examine the effect of gaming disorder classification, recently announced by World Health Organization(WHO), when it is applied to Korean game market. Considering the difference in respondents' background knowledge on gaming disorder, half of the respondents were randomly assigned to read an informative news article describing WHO's decision and its expected effect on domestic game industry. Based on previous literature of gaming disorder, we categorized respondents into a normal-use group and a potentially problematic-use group. As a result of analyses, it was found that the gaming disorder classification would yield overall reduction of game-related consumption in terms of gaming time(24%), game cost(28%), the number of games(22%), etc. The potentially problematic group showed higher willingness to pay for gaming than the normal group did, even if the game cost presumably increases due to the gaming disorder classification. A similar outcome was observed in those with high stress levels. This implies that the policy to solve game addiction problems may ironically lead to unexpected cost increases to the target group of the policy. Hence, problematic groups, especially, highly stressful people and the people with the lack of self-control, need to be considered when the gaming disorder classification policy is established. Furthermore, the informative news article had the preventive effect on the attitude and the intention of the people with moderate or high self-control capacity, but not to the people with gaming-additive tendencies, Again, this finding confirms the necessity of the tweezers policy to refine target groups by their characteristics and prepare for differentiated policies. When the gaming disorder classification is simply adopted with no consideration of domestic circumstances, irreversible loss could affect Korean game users, game industries, and related companies. This calls for urgent cooperation between academia, government, and industry to set up appropriate measures to deal with the gaming disorder classification.

최근 확률형 아이템이 이용자들에게 투입 비용보다 높은 가치의 아이템을 획득할 수 있을 것이라는 막연한 기대감을 갖게 만들어, 게임 이용자의 사행성을 조장하고 과소비를 부추긴다는 우려가 제기되고 있다. 특히 복잡한 확률구조와 관련하여 허위로 표시하는 등 거짓 또는 과장 광고가 만연하여 게임 업계의 자율규제가 실효성을 잃고 게임제작업자가 허위로 확률을 고지하여 이용자들을 기만하는 사례 등이 사회적으로 문제가 되고 있다. 이에 국민의힘 하태경 의원이 일정 규모 이상 게임제작업자는 게임물이용자위원회를 두도록 하는 게임산업진흥에 관한 법률 일부개정(안)을 2021년 3월 24일 대표발의하였는데, 이 법안이 게임산업을 과도하게 규제한다는 비판이 제기되고 있는바, 해당 법안을 분석하여 입법취지에 부합하는 개선방안을 제시하고자 한다.
