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.

신대영(2019)의 정액제 게임과 부분유료화 게임간의 이벤트 실시와 관련하여 평균 이벤트 기간의 차이 연구에서 리니지2와 마비노비 두 게임간의 평균 이벤트 기간의 차이 검증에서 양측검정 결과 P값이 0.01(P>0.05)로 두 게임간의 평균 이벤트 기간은 차이가 있음을 알 수 있다. 다만 해당 연구에서는 정액제 게임으로 청소년 이용불가 게임인 리니지2와 와 부분유료화 게임으로 청소년 이용가능 게임인 마비노기 대상으로 연구하였다. 본 연구에서는 같은 등급인 청소년이용불가 게임으로 리니지2와 A3리턴즈를 선정하여 정액제와 부분유료화 등 요금정책과 평균 이벤트 기간과의 차이를 연구하였다.

This study examined how news has covered games since the decision to include gaming disorder in ICD-11. Data were 694 news article on games in five major newspapers. The results indicated the following: While the proportion of reports on game industry was high, those reports were mainly straight news announcing industry status and corporate management status. Reports on game policy focused on regulations, particularly game addiction or disorder. Reports on game uses and effects showed very low rates, but they have followed the existing practices of reporting games as the cause of extreme crimes and deviant behaviors.

게임은 독자적인 하나의 가상 세계를 구성하며, 이에 따라 게임을 서비스하는 기업은 별도의 사법체계에 가까운 정보보호 및 보안 체계 및 인력을 유지하는 경우도 많다. 여기에서는 이러한 기업이 가지고 있는 권한을 활용하여 정보보호를 강화하는 방법에 대해 경제이론에 기반하여 사례를 간략하게 분석하였다. 가상 세계에서의 불법적 활동은 개인의 효용극대화라는 경제이론으로도 설명이 가능하며, 이를 볼 때 불법적 활동의 감소는 기대되는 수익의 감소 및 처벌 규모 및 발각확률 상승으로 인한 기대되는 비용의 증가를 통해 정책적으로 대처가 가능하다. 이를 위해 다양한 기술적/보안조직 등에 대한 연구 및 방법론들이 개발되어 있지만, 이를 통하지 않더라도 게임 내 규칙을 변경하거나, 정책적 방향을 통해서도 유사한 효과를 얻을 수 있다. 여기에서는 간략하게 (1) 불법적 이득을 감소시키는 정책 (2) 불법적 활동의 발각확률을 올리는 정책 (3) 불법적 활동에 대한 처벌에 대한 정책이라는 세 가지 측면에서 검토하였으며, 그동안 게임사에서 시도되었고 효과적이었다고 인지되는 여러 사례를 소개하고자 하였다.

2017년 상반기 우리 게임 시장의 특징 중 하나가 중국산 모바일 게임의 국내 흥행이라 할 만 하다. 3월 경만 해도 중국 게임사들이 카카오 등 국내 유통 업체 등을 통해 시장에 들어왔다면 7월 이후 우리 시장을 포함한 구글 플레이 마켓에서 초강세를 보이는 소녀전선 등은 국내 시장을 노린 한글화 작업 이외에는 중국, 대만, 홍콩 등의 업계가 제작과 배급을 다 담당하고 있는 실정이다. 본 논문은 이러한 국내 모바일 게임 시장에서 강세를 보이는 중국 게임을 플레이하는 국내 사용자들이 중국 게임임을 인지하고 있었는지, 또 어떤 면에서 국내 게임보다 더 선호되었는지를 여러 모바일 게임 사이트를 통한 201명의 설문 조사를 통해 밝히고자 하였다. 중국산 게임의 한국 사용자들은 79%가 남성이고 대부분이 20대 이하였으며 미소녀 함선 게임을 주로 하지만 그런 장르적 특성 이외에 소녀성, 판타지성, 선정성이 강화된 일러스트와 한국 게임과는 다른 과금정책 및 운영정책에 높은 점수를 주었음이 드러났다. 더 이상 한국 모바일 게임이 중국 수출품용이 아니라 오히려 우리가 시장을 방어해야 할 단계가 아닌지 심히 우려되는 상황이라 하겠다.

This study empirically examines the effects of regulation on online gaming. Going beyond ad hoc heuristic approaches on individual behavior, we investigate the effects of regulation on dynamic changes of games or service providers. In particular, we propose three theoretical perspectives: social influence to investigate the regulation effect, the role of prior experience to determine the difference in the regulation effect size through users' prior experience, and network externalities to discover the difference in the regulation effect size according to the number of users on an online gaming platform. We use the vector autoregression methodology to model patterns of the co-movement of online games and to forecast game usage. We find that online gamers are heterogeneous. Therefore, policy makers should make suitable regulations for each heterogeneous group to effectively avoid generating gaming addicts without interrupting the economic growth of the online gaming industry.

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.
