Though the market size decreased by 0.3% in 2013, it immediately rebounded in 2014, and has been continuing to rise in 2019.

Figure 1 Total Size and Growth Rate of the Domestic Gaming Market(2009~2018) Sales Volume (100 Mil KRW) Growth Rate (%) 155,750 142,902 131,423 107,223 108,945 97,525 97,197 99,706 88,047 74,312 18.5 20.6 12.9 10.8 7.5 8.7 9.0 -0.3 2.6 1.6 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2) The mobile gaming market amounted to 7.7399 trillion KRW, making up 49.7% of the total gaming industry sales After surpassing the PC gaming market for the first time in 2017, the mobile gaming market has emerged as a core platform that accounts for half of the total share of the domestic gaming industry in 2019. With the convenient accessibility of mobile devices and the improvement in hardware specifications, the domestic gaming industry started to focus on the mobile gaming market, which lead to a remarkable growth. Mobile gaming market sales in 2019 amounted to 7.7399 trillion KRW, a 49.7% share. 4 2020 WHITE PAPER ON KOREAN GAMES Part 1 Gaming Industry Trends in 2019 Among the entire gaming industry, only the PC gaming sector decreased by 4.3% year-on-year (YoY), while sales in other sectors increased YoY.

Arcade gaming market sales increased by 20.6%, but since the market size is small, it is difficult to find its significance. Mobile gaming market sales increased by 16.3% YoY, and recorded a high growth rate despite its a large market size. Internet café sales recorded an 11.6% increase, and gaming arcade sales recorded a 2.4% increase compared to the previous year sales. 2020 WHITE PAPER ON KOREAN GAMES 5 SUMMARY 3) Domestic gaming market size expected to show high growth in the future The scale of the domestic gaming market in 2020 is expected to increase by approximately 9.2% when compared to 2019, and amount to 17.93 trillion KRW. In 2020, the consumption of games, a representative non-face-to-face content, increased due to the spread of the infectious disease, COVID-19. The game production business that focuses on mobile and console games, in particular, is expected to grow significantly. On the other hand, distribution businesses, such as Internet cafés and game arcades, are expected to record negative growth because they cannot operate properly due to the reinforcement of social distancing. In 2020, the PC gaming market size is expected to grow by 1.5% compared to 2019, and amount to 4.8779 trillion KRW. For PC games, the impact on the market of the release of a masterpiece, such as <Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds> is very significant. PC platforms, such as Steam, remain popular, but users who are new to the game, including children and women, prefer mobile platforms that are easy to access and operate. Thus, the growth of the mobile platform is expected to stay strong for the time being. Meanwhile, Internet café sales are expected to decrease as the number of users continue to decline due to the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020. Once COVID-19 pandemic is moderated, Internet café sales are expected to increase again in 2021. The use of mobile games has started to increase as people spend more time at home and non-face-to-face activities increase due to COVID-19. Moreover, mobile gaming is expected to become the most important gaming platform in the future because of the excellent accessibility of mobile devices. Mobile games based on PC MMORPG IP1), in particular, are leading the growth of the domestic gaming industry. Mobile gaming sales are expected to grow significantly in 2020, which will continue for the time being. 1) MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game): An online role-playing video game in which a very large number of people participate simultaneously. 6 2020 WHITE PAPER ON KOREAN GAMES Part 1 Gaming Industry Trends in 2019 Table 1 Scale and Prospect of the Domestic Gaming Market (2018-2022) (Unit: 100 Mil KRW, %) 2018 2019 2020(E) 2021(E) 2022(E) Type Sales Growth Sales Growth Sales Growth Sales Growth Sales Growth Volume Rate Volume Rate Volume Rate Volume Rate Volume Rate PC Game 50,236 10.6 48,058 -4.3 48,779 1.5 48,827 0.1 49,306 1.0 Mobile Game 66,558 7.2 77,399 16.3 93,926 21.4 100,181 6.7 110,024 9.8 Console Game 5,285 41.5 6,946 31.4 8,676 24.9 12,037 38.7 13,541 12.5 Arcade Game 1,854 3.1 2,236 20.6 766 -65.7 1,503 96.2 2,382 58.5 Internet Café 18,283 3.9 20,409 11.6 17,641 -13.6 19,605 11.1 23,146 18.1 Game Arcade 686 -12.0 703 2.4 303 -56.9 532 75.4 726 36.6 Total 142,902 8.7 155,750 9.0 170,093 9.2 182,683 7.4 199,125 9.0 The console gaming market is expected to record high growth in 2020, following 2018 and 2019, due to the increase in sales of Nintendo Switch and its popular titles, such as <Animal Crossing: New Horizons>. The three major console platform holders have been striving to localize popular titles, and major domestic gaming companies are also actively entering the console market by releasing console versions of popular games. Moreover, with Sony and Microsoft releasing next-generation game consoles in November 2020, console game sales are expected to surge in 2021, showing a higher growth rate compared to 2020. Arcade games and gaming arcades have been greatly struggled with the COVID-19 pandemic. Many domestic gaming arcades have been closed, resulting in game machines being put up on the market for sale.

Kim Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPGs) are online entities that are truly global and borderless by nature, but in smaller countries like Malaysia, they are licensed by global developers to local publishers to be localized for local players. From a globalization perspective this appears to be a one-way, top-down relationship from the global to the local. However, this is not the case as the relationship is interchangeable, known as the Global-Local Nexus, as neither of these forces has control over the other, but at the same time they have great influence over one another. This thesis examines the Global-Local Nexus in MMORPGs industry in Malaysia between global developers and local publishers and players. The research was conducted through a series of personal interviews with local publisher representatives and local players.

Chang-kwean Kim [email protected] HeeSeok Lim [email protected] 20 21 to mark an inflection point Gaming is at the heart of the entertainment industry ’s future for the gaming industry In 2021, the era of gaming anytime, anywhere will begin in earnest. Despite COVID-19 and the uncertain economic outlook for 2021, we expect the gaming industry to perform strongly, as: 1) the industry is inherently resilient to economic downturns; 2) gaming is rising in popularity among older adults; and 3) IT technologies are continuing to advance. In terms of investment strategy, we recommend focusing on new platforms and/or new title momentum. Key events in 2021 include: 1) the release of next-generation consoles; 2) the full- fledged deployment of cloud gaming; and 3) new title releases by major companies. New growth opportunities amid Key drivers of the domestic and global gaming markets: N ext -generation consoles, e- the pandemic sports, and mobile games We expect Korea’s console gaming and e-sports markets to expand at CAGRs of 12% and 9% through 2024, respectively. We estimate the global console gaming and e-sports markets will expand at CAGRs of 7% and 14% through 2024, respectively. In Nov. 2020, Sony and Microsoft are due to release next-generation game consoles for the first time in eight years. Tech giants (e.g., Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Apple) are launching cloud gaming services in 2020.
