EPTWhile it is an independant country and they have every right to protect their own companies, the way they are going about it is so fucking illogical.

the main point is, governments are lier. they referred about foreign games, but their lots of insisting is pointing korean online games, too. here, they are also insisting that game is as dangerous as cigarette, alchol, and drug... and because of a new law including that(progressing discussion in gov...), all game company in korea would have to give 6% of their total selling money per year. | ||

It's different in China. It's less about xenophobia and more about connections and money. Money is always king in China and having a Chinese partner means more cuts for everyone involved. Korea is about being "respectable" in its official image and extremely arbitrary behind the scenes. Korea is just xenophobic/patriotic - two sides of the same coin here. | ||

restrictly, nexon is not a korean company now. actually, nexon has lots of child company, and....maybe last year or before, the japanese company(nexon japan) became their head company. We're guessing they fought with gov, or predicted this situation... in korea, also, we have a department called "ministry of gender equality"blahblah. they always insist that for their yearly money, but, their real name is yer-sung-boo, translated "department for woman." in English. lots of korean agree that the company is trash and useless. these all situation are from in te department | ||

I'm pretty sure Riot KR headquarters gives Koreans jobs. Who cares if Riot is a Korean company? It benefits the Korean economy as much as that of any other company. | ||

But it will only hurt the good of esports in the long run if a game can't be popular just because it was made by another country. Imagine if everyone were forced to only play games made in their country. No Esport would ever gain recognition on a global scale and unify people from different countries. | ||

"the real reason we (the government) summoned representative Oh was to stand against the monopolization of a foreign company (on Korean soil). We wanted to give the foreign companies to bear the same responsibilities that the domestic companies bear, to promote their (domestic companies) growth." Hope that clarifies. Based on this, it sounds like the Korean government want Riot to have the same obligations/etc that Korean companies have with regard to the responsibilities to Koreans. Blizzard already do this with limits on when you can play etc (people have had issues with playing in foreigner online tournaments after midnight, like Maru I think). It seems like they are just saying that Riot can't be allowed to be a western company operating in Korea unless they adhere to the same rule as a Korean company, as otherwise this disadvantages the Korean companies. Making Riot have to do the same stuff as a Korean company doesn't favour domestic companies, it levels the playing field. | ||
