A few weeks ago we reported on a Android Market having a problem in South Korea. To refresh your memory, South Korea law requires all games to be reviewed by their gaming board before being made for sale, something that presented quite a problem for Android’s 4000+ game titles that skipped that step and were being sold illegally.  Well, a solution has been found and you’re not going to like it.
All game titles in the Android Market in South Korea will be removed within one month. Â Bad news indeed, but it makes sense from a logistical standpoint. Not only do all games require review, but even updated versions must pass through the gaming board prior to release. This made offering games not only a nightmare for Google but those poor game developers that just want to improve their product.
Is there a way around it? Perhaps. Korean iTunes users simply created a U.S.-based account to get around restrictions, a step not so easy for Android. But as the saying goes, if there is a will, there is a way.
