문화관광부는 음반비디오물및게임물에관한법률을 장르별로 별도 입법화한다는 방침을 세우면서 게임산업의진흥에관한법률제정안을 발표했다. 게임산업진흥법은 산업진흥을 위한 문화진흥을 기치로 내걸고 있다는 점에서 높이 평가할 만하지만, 진흥법이라고 하기에는 규제 조항이 지나치게 많고 예산조달 항목이 없다는 한계성도 갖고 있다. 탄생 자체만으로 의미가 있다고 볼 수 있으나, 동전의 양면을 하나의 법에 아우르려하고 있다는 점에서 위험성도 내재돼 있는 것이다.

크레인 게임기 등 싱글 로케이션 게임물의 외부설치가 금지된다. 문화관광부는 '건물밖에 설치한 싱글 로케이션 게임물은 모두 건물 내로 옮기는 경우에만 한해 제공할 수 있다’는 내용을 포함한 "게임산업 진흥에 관한 법률시행령을 지난 5월 16일 발효했다. 이로써 외부 설치되는 인형집게기 등 크레인 게임물은 불법으로 단속을 피할 수 없게 되었다. 이같은 법령발효로 인해 크레인 게임물 관련업체들은 비상이 걸렸다. 반면 외부설치가 자유로운 자판기 분야에 있어서는 이번 입법이 로케이션 확대의 호재로 작용할 전망이다. 이번 입법이 산업계 대내외적으로 끼칠 영향을 분석해 봤다.

Among the cultural industries, the game industry is the most economically valuable industry. It has been about twenty years since the game policy has been implemented and the game laws have been enacted. If the law is a willing expression for the realization of the policy, the orientation of the game policy can be grasped through revision of the game laws. SOUND RECORDS, VIDEO PRODUCTS, AND GAME SOFTWARE ACT, established in 1999, and GAME INDUSTRY PROMOTION ACT, which was enacted in 2006, are regulated by many revisions. In this paper, I try to understand the direction and meaning of Korean game policy(classification, game dysfunction, gambling, industry growth) through the contents of the revision of the game law for 20 years. The game policy shown through the amendment of the game law is intended to protect the game by regulating the game, and to protect the game user by preventing the gambling and preventing the game dysfunction, and to increase autonomy of users and choice of producers by switching to self rating system, and based on this, an environment for continuous industrial growth is created. In the future, game policies should consider cooperation with social areas beyond game-specific areas. On the other hand, it needs to respond to new agendas such as polarization of industrial structure, fair environment, employment environment.

The legal system that is related games mostly approach in the regulation and punishment of one-sided administration so far. Relatively, Approach from the game industry development and promotion act standpoint is low. Shrinking rapidly the current game industry is not an irrelevance to this. So It is necessary to reconstruct rationally in side that embrace with variety of views of members of the society and interests about current game-related laws, systems and regulation instruments.

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.

Game have become a universal leisure culture for the world. However, not only did the development of the game industry have a positive impact on society, but it also brought about various social problems, such as adversely affecting youth and encouraging criminal acts. In order to minimize these effects, countries around the world operate a game rating system to provide games suitable for age and social values from children and young people to the general public. Since games are new digital content, the limitations of the rating system are still discussed in many studies. Therefore, this study investigates the current status of global game regulation by investigating game rating systems of various countries including Korea. In addition, by comparing and analyzing the game rating system in Korea and the system of other countries, this study suggests a direction to improve our system more appropriately. The results of this study will contribute to securing the effectiveness and standardization of domestic game classification system.
