Netmarble CEO Kwon Young-sik: "Pearl Abyss License Approval, Positive News for Korean Game Industry"
[Asia Economy Reporter Buaeri] Kwon Young-sik, CEO of Netmarble, expressed his position regarding Pearl Abyss's mobile game 'Black Desert' receiving a Chinese game license (game service permit), calling it "a positive and welcome news for the Korean gaming industry."
On the morning of the 29th, at Netmarble headquarters in Guro-gu, Seoul, during the 'Marvel Future Revolution' media briefing, CEO Kwon said, "Previously, 2 to 3 licenses were issued, but since they were developed by small-scale developers, I had doubts about whether it was truly the time for licenses to be granted," adding, "Now, I view it positively, thinking it might have become possible."
He continued, "With expectations regarding the license, I believe we need to prepare more quickly."
