Korean Game Association “Probability type game item information should be disclosed”

Jeong-Hyun Wi, President of the Korean Game Society Society © News1-The Korean Game Society issued a statement on the 22nd that it should legally regulate the controversial probability-type items. According to the ‘Amendment to All Acts on Game Industry Promotion’, which is scheduled to be presented by the National Assembly’s Culture, Sports and Tourism Committee, it is necessary to accurately disclose game item probability information. Probability-type items introduced in 2004 may or may not come out in the form of a’draw’ when you buy a product with money. The industry has disclosed probabilities in the form of self-regulation due to concerns about speculation, but problems such as probability manipulation have been pointed out. The Society believes that the game industry has been disclosing the probability of items through self-regulation for 6 years, but its own efforts have reached its limit.

On the other hand, the Korea Game Industry Association, which represents game companies, said on the 15th that “probability item information is a trade secret” and opposes regulatory legislation. “The distrust of users over the reliability of the probability of an item is spreading,” said Jung-Hyun Wi, president of the Game Society. It is necessary to legalize the disclosure of probability.”
