GCRB launches sixth panel, speeds shift of game ratings to private sector
The Game Culture Foundation has formed the sixth Games Content Rating Board (GCRB) panel and appointed Anyang University professor Seung-hoon Lee as chair. The new panel expands recommending bodies from eight to 16 and increases the share of experts in games, law and consumer protection, while lowering the average age to 44 from 54. GCRB plans a second-stage transfer of game ratings to the private sector in the second half, introducing mobile platforms and simplified reviews.
