Is it hard to pass the game odds disclosure bill?
Users burst into anger in Nexon’s’Sweep’ patch
[MHN 문화뉴스 김종민 기자] It was revealed on the 18th that Nexon’s’Maple Story’ did not provide items with an equal probability in the midst of recent criticism of game companies such as Nexon-NC.
Accordingly, users are showing reactions through online communities, etc., that they will not even boycott.
The controversy was ignited from the Maple Story balance patch that Nexon released on the 18th. In the content, there is a mention that “the error has been corrected so that additional options given to items can be obtained with the same probability.”
Additional options are values that affect game character stats and item performance. Depending on the character, there are different useful options, and among them, there are options that are discarded, so users want to get good options with the probability’draw’ method.
It is analyzed that the reason users burst into resentment is that Nexon has been saying, “Equal probability is applied to each additional option.” Until now, through experiments with a Maple Story professional YouTuber, suspicion that Nexon is manipulating the probability of each additional option has been frequently raised, but each time Nexon repeated the same answer, saying, “The probability is the same.”
Immediately after the release of the patch contents, users in the major online community related to Maple Story announce the’limit 0 won challenge’ and are participating in the boycott. The Limit 0 Won Challenge sets the limit for cash payments to Nexon at 0 Won, with the intention of not consuming Nexon content any more.
Users who checked the announcement on the 18th said, “It has been revealed that Nexon has lied for a while,” through online communities. “Although the acquisition probability has been manipulated, users have an attitude to correct it with a patch and skip it as if it were a minor error. “It’s deceitful to hear,” he said in an enrage.
They criticized, “Recently, conscious of the probabilistic game item’probability disclosure bill initiative’, we are now trying to correct it brazenly”
In another case, similar criticism has been raised against Nexon’s other game’Mabinogi’, and some users have conducted demonstrations using trucks at the Pangyo Nexon headquarters since the end of January.
They criticized that Nexon did not clearly disclose the’working probability’ for Mabinogi’s’working item’, and that it had avoided the regulation by a dual system that changes the performance of game items again with cash payment items.
On the other hand, in a situation where users’ criticism is fierce, the industry’s attention is on whether to pass the’All Game Industry Act’ proposed in the National Assembly in December of last year.
The amendment is to legalize the disclosure of probability information on probabilistic items that game companies are currently implementing as’self-regulation’, and impose obligations on game companies to transparently notify users of item acquisition-related information.
Accordingly, the’Game Industry Association’, which belongs to major game companies such as NC-Netmarble-Nexon, as vice president, opposes that it is an unfair regulation, and claims that matters such as the probability of game items fall under the’trade secret’.
