My topic : Shutdown law is unnecessary in Korea

What I hope to learn from this sources :
I wanted to learn about the impacts of game industry by shutdown law. Also the opinions from experts and Supporters of shutdown law.


Notes

1. There will be no immediate impact, and When taking into consideration that those aged 18 or under account for 28.9 percent of online gamers those aged under 16 represent less than 20 percent. The number of those in the age group playing between midnight and 6 a.m. will be even less (said Jung Woo-chul, an analyst at Mirae Asset Securities.)

2. Shutdown law increase the management costs for game companies
( They will have to increase servers to store personal information, check users aren’t stealing someone else’s identification and strengthen security. )

3. It can impact to export games because it can cause harmful images to Korean games

4. Shutdown law supporters insist that it can protect children from addiction almost 100 percent and they have to extend the scope of age.

Final thought : Before the shutdown law came into force, many experts say it will not immediatly impact to game industry. So I think I have to find some materials about the  impacts of game industry after the shudwon law came into force. And I think the supporters of shutdown law don't care about huge game industry situation.
