A constitutional complaint has been filed that the provision of the Game Industry Act, which prohibits distribution by pre-censoring games, is unconstitutional.

The Korea Game Users Association held a press conference in front of the Constitutional Court today with G Sikbaek, a YouTube channel for games, and argued that Article 32, Paragraph 2, No. 3 of the Game Industry Act, which pre-censors games that contain "concerns about disturbing social order" and prohibits distribution, is unconstitutional.

Lee Chul-woo, president of the Korea Game Users Association, who served as the representative for the constitutional petitioner, said, "The ambiguous expression of the provisions of the law makes it difficult to predict and follow the law," adding, "The interpretation may vary depending on the deliberator, so it is likely to violate the "principle of clarity," which is the constitutional principle."
