In South Korea video games are considered to be a major social activity with most of the games being cooperative or competitive. Professional competition surrounding video games also enjoy a substantial
following in South Korea—major tournaments are often broadcast on television,
and have large prizes available.
The Most
popular video game in South Korea unlike the European countries happens to be
on the computer and is League of Legends. Pc Bangs which are computer gaming
centers are very popular and are the local hang out spots for students and the
youth to go to. Video Game Addiction is very serious in South Korea and the
Korean government has spent millions of dollars on clinics, campaigns, and
programs to minimize the problem. In late 2011 the government imposed the
shutdown law, which prevents anyone under 16 from playing games online 10pm and
6 am.
