▲ Justice Party Rep. Ryu Ho-jeong Justice Party Rep. Ryu Ho-jeong proposed the ‘Simplification Act on Game Modification Reporting’. The key is to exclude minor content modifications from reporting. The current law requires that if a game product that has received a rating has content modifications, it must be reported to the Game Management Committee within 24 hours. In case of violation, a fine of up to 10 million won is imposed. If the reported content is modified to the extent that a change in rating is necessary, a new rating is required according to the procedure. However, according to a survey by the Game Management Committee, among more than 3,000 game modification reports each year, only 10% of reports require a rating change. . In a recent government audit, there were opinions that the current system needs to be improved in order to promote convenience for game companies and prevent waste of administrative power to process reports. In particular, items that do not affect the game rating, such as adding items, changing options, modifying characters, and balancing Content modification reports are also being made for adjustments, bug and error corrections, etc. It takes 7 days for game companies to file a report and process it, and it takes 2 to 3 weeks to supplement the data. As there are no guidelines from the Game Commission, game companies file a report for correction of detailed information. This is to avoid being fined for not reporting. This is a problem that puts a burden on game companies and causes the Game Commission to waste administrative power. Six gaming committee employees are in charge of this task. Each person reviews approximately 550 cases per year. The person in charge of receiving content modification reports is considered one of the departments to be avoided within the Game Commission. The purpose of the reporting process was to ensure that game companies might provide services without receiving a new rating classification when changes were made to the game content. However, unclear standards led to frequent administrative procedures and placed a burden on game companies. Through the amendment, Representative Ryu made it possible to report even before modifying the content of the game, and excluded minor content modifications from reporting. This is to promote the efficient operation of the game content modification reporting system. In a recent government audit, Rep. Ryu told Game Management Committee Chairman Kim Gyu-cheol, “Reporting game content modifications is designed to prevent sensationalism and speculative behavior, but contrary to the original purpose, game companies are allowed to simply modify fonts or “By reporting even interface modifications, the Game Commission’s administrative power is being wasted,” he pointed out. Chairman Kim Gyu-cheol responded, “It is true that contrary to the original intention, it is a burden on game companies and the Game Commission. If you help us revise it, we will prepare to handle it.” ▲ Excerpt from the amendment
