Reports from South Korea confirm that recent blizzard South Korea has consulted the Gaming Industry Association about the development of the game Culture Fund, although there is no formal stance, but it has been euphemistically disclosed that it is likely to participate.  Game Culture Fund is the cultural and Sports Tourism department published on April 17, "for the game industry to continue to grow the foundation of the game to prevent addiction," the main content is to nurture a sound game industry will be raised into a 10 billion-scale funds, put into use in the game to prevent addiction. Blizzard, which has not participated in any of the official events, has been involved in the event because of the stealth pressure given by the South Korean government. Blizzard has in the past created a great interest in the Korean market, but has never made social contributions and investment in the Korean market has been condemned.  Blizzard Korea before the "StarCraft 2" audit issues have some trouble, and Korea Electric Competition Association has some friction, so as far as possible not to cause anti-blizzard emotions and efforts. Although the game culture Fund's casting and the game audit is the association and the civil society matter, can actually also cannot neglect the Ministry of Culture and so on the role of the government organ.  Blizzard's "World of Warcraft", which operates in South Korea, is popular in South Korea, so it's impossible to completely deny gaming addiction. The most embarrassing thing is that Blizzard is not promising to donate, one of the most important factors is the sales of game companies, but Blizzard Korea has never disclosed the sales of enterprises, they have not decided to donate the amount.  In the critical American accounting law can be set up for the cost of labor funds, but the game of cultural funding on the surface is the promotion of corporate self-discipline, so this also has a lot of trouble.  They also worry that once donations are made, similar events will happen in other regions such as China, and that if donations become precedent, Blizzard will not be able to refuse invitations from other governments. "Blizzard South Korea also wants to donate to the game culture Fund but hesitates about its approach," one insider said. "In the face of the September South Korean regular congressional and Korean national inspection, Blizzard Korea does not want to continue to spread the anti-blizzard sentiment in the circle"; "(Edit Zhang Xing)
