Com2us, a national gaming company on day 2(156,500 + 3.71%)There was a news that the China Foreign Capital Edition (Modern Edition, License for Games Service in China) has been issued for ‘Summoners War: Sand in the Sky’. Panho is a kind of “permit” that you must obtain to service games in China. Foreign companies need to obtain sales abroad and domestic companies must obtain internal sales to give official service to the game.
This is the first time that a Korean game company has received an official problem from the Chinese government since the ‘THAAD (high altitude missile defense system)’ incident in March 2017, and the ‘Han Han Ryeong game was finally released. ‘. A positive outlook poured out. Summoners War is a mobile game released globally in June 2014, and Com2uS gets 80% of its quarterly sales abroad from Summoners War.
The market also responded. Along with the news of the issuance of the plate, the price of Com2uS shares rose more than 20% during the day.

However, the gaming industry is expressing difficulty in analyzing whether the Chinese market has reopened with the issuance of this edition of Com2uS. To be convinced that China has completely abolished the Korean government, additional editions must be published, but there is no sign of that. In particular, the fact that Com2uS”Summoners War ‘was the first issuer of the problem after Hannyeonggyeong (Korean Hanryeong) is one of the reasons why it is difficult to see it as a complete abolition of Hanryeong.
That is due to the characteristics of Summoners War in China. The issue of this issue is the result of the efforts of individual Com2uS companies. Com2uS ‘Summoners War global esports league, Summoners War World Arena Championship has been held four times since 2017, of which Chinese players are so popular in China that they have won two championships.
Chinese users have downloaded Summoners War in the form of ‘APK’, an Android application installation file, and have been using it in some way. Com2uS has also tried to win the favor of game users in the region by opening a separate selection for the Chinese representative. From the perspective of the Chinese government, it is said to be trying to reduce the burden of full openness by allowing games that are already actively used by home users.

There are also opinions that the Chinese government is analyzing as part of the recent move to tighten regulations on content. The Chinese government has requested that Apple’s iOS operating system games be officially released this year, warning that games repaired without issuing a board could be withdrawn from the app market. Until now, Apple’s App Market could officially download the game without issuing a separate edition. Com2uth’s Summoners War also allows players using iOS to enjoy the game without using a circumvent. It is explained that the plan is to create a material to download content for the rest of the game, rather than officially granting permission for games that already have a large number of users.
This regulatory movement by the Chinese government can be seen in the recent number of issues issued. China National Newspaper Publishing issued foreign editions for 186 games in 2019, but as of December this year, only 97 editions were issued. It has been reduced to less than half. It is explained that content regulations are being applied more strongly not only to Korea but also to other countries.
