By Baek Byung-yeul

Nexon, NCSOFT, Netmarble and other Korean game companies are focusing on play-to-earn (P2E) games as their next growth engine.
넥슨, 엔씨소프트, 넷마블 및 다른 한국 게임 기업들은 다음 성장 동력으로P2E 게임에 집중하고 있다.


P2E allows gamers to earn real money from playing games and performing other services in the virtual environment using cryptocurrency, in what is becoming a new trend in the global gaming market, according to industry analysts Monday.
월요일 업계 전문가들에 의하면 P2E는 게이머가 게임을 하고 가상화폐를 사용해 가상 환경에서 다른 서비스를 수행하며 실제 돈을 벌 수 있도록 하는데, 이는 전세계 게임 시장의 새로운 트렌드다.


Whether it is a large company or a small one, P2E games are being developed or targeting overseas markets, but Korean companies are not able to use these products in Korea due to government regulations that have been put in place because these types of games are not easy to control, due to various problematic side effects.
큰 기업이든 작은 기업이든 P2E 게임은 해외에서 개발되거나 대상이 되고 있지만, 한국 기업들은 이러한 유형의 게임은 관리하지 쉽지 않으며 여러 문제를 일으킨다는 부작용에 의해 시행된 정부의 규제 때문에 이러한 상품을 한국에서 사용할 수 없다.


Company officials and analysts said that the government should lift the regulations so that P2E games can also be provided domestically in order for the companies to establish themselves while the global market, is still in its infancy.
기업 직원 및 분석가들은 정부는 이러한 기업들이 아직 초기 단계인 글로벌 시장에서 자리를 잡고 P2E 게임이 국내에도 제공될 수 있도록 규제를 해제해야 한다고 말했다.


"As many executives of local game firms have said, the trend of technology and the market is changing toward P2E games. If serving these kinds of games is the trend of the global market, I think it is a reasonable choice to respond accordingly," an official of the local game company said on condition of anonymity.
"많은 국내 게임 업체들의 경영진이 언급했듯, 기술과 시장의 트렌드가 P2E 게임으로 바뀌고 있다. 이러한 유형의 게임 제공이 글로벌 시장의 트렌드라면 이에 부응하는 것이 합리적이라고 본다"라고 한 국내 게임 기업의 직원은 익명을 전제로 말했다.
