[이구동성] Game Commission As You Like 2023.12.29 16:30 Game Mecca Reporter Shin Jae-yeon
Recently released on Steam Block 2 types of adult gamesAs the news broke that this was done, voices of criticism against the Game Management Committee (hereinafter referred to as the Game Management Committee) once again grew louder. Both games to which access was blocked this time were highly sensational and could be considered pornographic under domestic law. Moreover, because it did not even receive a rating, blocking was inevitable under domestic law. But separately, another problem began to arise due to inconsistent measures.
First, the reality that adults cannot enjoy adult games may be a criticism of the current law, but it is not the fault of the Game Commission, which regulates games in accordance with the law. In other words, the request to block access to games that have not been reviewed is a problem on a slightly different level. To solve this problem, the law on review of game products must be revised first.
However, selective crackdowns and late actions are clearly the Game Commission’s problem. Even when the games were ranked 1st and 2nd among Steam’s best-selling games, there was no response, and only after they were mentioned one by one through the media, was the region blocked. And that’s just by pointing out two games that have become an issue among the many sensational games on Steam. Of course, it is not easy to monitor all games released on a global ESD such as Steam, but at this point, they are not even monitoring, and only when a specific game becomes famous does they get serious about blocking it, saying it is a result of selective self-monitoring. There are no standards, no fairness, no consistency, no firmness.
The Gaming Commission needs to face the current critical situation. Already computer network fraudand Corruption in the game rating simplification project At a time when gamers’ trust has dropped significantly due to such factors, such selective and late measures are bound to further erode trust in the institution. If you want to leave it in a gray area, leave it alone, if you want to block it, actively block it, and come to a conclusion instead of just repeating that discussions with Valve have been sluggish for several years. If we want to avoid criticism of rubber-band deliberation or selective deliberation, we need to achieve at least consistency.
