Game industry is one of the most marketable area in the age of the $4^{th}$ industrial revolution. However, game industry in Korea is restricted by social and cultural issues. This study investigates biased image of game players and sexual commercialization of game contents as obstacles of Korean game industry invigoration. We find that the biased image of game players is still existed, and the commercialization of sex is considered as disincentive to develop modern game industry. Most of the respondents reports that sexual commercialization of game contents should be regulated as a factor that would harm Korean game industry.

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.

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.

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.

Rating system, which generated by struggling and negotiating of many social groups, helps us to anyalyze plenty of social factors. With this point of view this article attempts to examine the game rating system of Iran, that started in 2009. At the beginning, the nubmber and ratio of prohibited games were very high. Most prohibited games have contents of violence with religious distortion or women's nudity. But recently the case of prohibition is not seen and the ratio of age rate is changed to that of other countries. The system and operation of ESRA is influenced by multiple factors like the willingness to support game industry of government, the understanding of industrial value, the acknowledgement of cultural effect of game and etc.

We study online gaming regulations and examine the reactance and attitude of the targeted group. To be specific, we focus on the 'Shutdown Law' due to its scope and magnitude of its influence. The Shutdown Law was enforced to prevent adolescence's immersion in or addiction to online gaming; however, its effectiveness has yet to reach a consensus. Our empirical findings show that the reactance to the regulation is stronger as game usage increases; surprisingly the effect of game usage on reactance weakens among the affected adolescence's group, compared to the adult counterpart. Furthermore, heavy users in the targeted group are more likely to play online gaming to mingle with their peers, and thus more likely to play other activities that friends participate in. These results suggest that online games play a role to cultivate peer-culture among adolescence and facilitate their communication.
