최근 확률형 아이템이 이용자들에게 투입 비용보다 높은 가치의 아이템을 획득할 수 있을 것이라는 막연한 기대감을 갖게 만들어, 게임 이용자의 사행성을 조장하고 과소비를 부추긴다는 우려가 제기되고 있다. 특히 복잡한 확률구조와 관련하여 허위로 표시하는 등 거짓 또는 과장 광고가 만연하여 게임 업계의 자율규제가 실효성을 잃고 게임제작업자가 허위로 확률을 고지하여 이용자들을 기만하는 사례 등이 사회적으로 문제가 되고 있다. 이에 국민의힘 하태경 의원이 일정 규모 이상 게임제작업자는 게임물이용자위원회를 두도록 하는 게임산업진흥에 관한 법률 일부개정(안)을 2021년 3월 24일 대표발의하였는데, 이 법안이 게임산업을 과도하게 규제한다는 비판이 제기되고 있는바, 해당 법안을 분석하여 입법취지에 부합하는 개선방안을 제시하고자 한다.
