게임 사용자층이 다양화되고 확대되어 감에 따라 게임의 과몰입에 대한 우려가 증가하고 있는 것이 현실이다. 이에 따라 게임에 대한 역기능과 부정적 인식을 넘어서 "유익한 게임", "도움이 되는 게임"으로 변화하기 위한 노력도 최근 몇 년 전부터 활발하게 진행이 되어 왔다. 순기능을 기반으로 한 게임인 기능성 게임(serious game)은, 기존의 게임에서 가지고 있던 단순한 재미 요소 이외에 교육, 학습, 훈련, 치료 등의 특별한 목적을 접목시켜 게임이 가지는 순기능을 더욱 확장시키고자 하는 것이다. 본고에서는 기능성 게임의 응용 분야 및 국내 외 성공 사례를 중심으로 동향을 살펴보고 세계적 흐름을 파악하여, 날로 치열해지고 있는 세계 게임 산업에서 주도권을 갖기 위해 필요한 전략이 무엇인지를 생각해보는 기회가 되고자 한다.

This paper aims at identifying the positive story-telling structure through the components of the game. This study found that the game is based on a well-organized scenario by the background, events and characters.

In the early 2000s, the problem of dysfunctional use of youth games became a social issue and the game culture policy was established for 15 years. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of policy on the prevention of dysfunction, The prevention of dysfunction of the game is somewhat effective, but the diffusion of positive function is insufficient and the improvement of recognition becomes more negative tendency. The effect is insufficient compared to the policy results.

하나의 산업이 올바르게 발전하기 위해서는 적절한 비판과 견제는 필수요소라 할 것이다. 특히 국내 디지털콘텐츠 산업의 핵심으로 떠오르고 있는 게임산업의 경우 순기능만큼이나 역기능이 크게 부각되고 있다는 측면에서 더욱 그러하다. 지난 1월 온라인게임 소비자들이 중심이 돼 국내 게임산업의 올바른 발전과 소비자의 권익을 위한‘온라인소비자연대’가 출범했다. 이번 온라인소비자연대의 출범은 그간 정부 정책과 게임업체 위주로 발전돼 온 온라인게임 산업에서 소비자들이 하나의 견제 세력으로 성장하는 계기가 될것으로 보인다. 소비자연대의 전현 대표를 만나 향후 활동계획을 들어봤다.
