Abstract(ENG)

As ICT advances, industries related to digital technology are disrupting the boundaries of corporations and increasingly interested in the industrial ecosystem. The electronic game industry is also continuously growing through convergence among various technologies, content genres and platforms. Accordingly, this study analyzed the hierarchical elements of hybrid game contents from the viewpoint of the ecosystem as well as the importance and influence their components have upon each level. To understand the importance and influence of the components of the ecosystem from the viewpoint of the value chain of hybrid game contents, an Expert Delphi Survey was conducted employing 18 experts from the game industry, academia and R&D institutions. The results of the Expert Delphi Survey were compiled, a hybrid game ecosystem defined for each layer, and a communication system diagram created depicting the relationship between the ecosystem and value chain of the hybrid game contents. Based on the analysis, to invigorate hybrid game contents, a direction for policies was presented for each hierarchy from both the micro and macro perspectives.
