Boosting, account sharing and ‘duo gaming’ in games like Overwatch could land you in jail in South Korea, as new laws have gone into effect on June 25. 根据韩国6月25日生效的新法律，在守望先锋这样的游戏中代练、共享账户以及“搭档玩游戏”可能会使你锒铛入狱。 The new law, first passed in December 2018 by the South Korean National Assembly, aims to curb boosting in popular games by handing out harsh punishments. 韩国国民议会于2018年12月首次通过了这一新法律。该法律旨在通过施行严厉惩罚以控制受欢迎游戏中的代练行为。 Prison sentences up to two years or fines of up to 20 million won (~$17,300 USD) can be meted out to players found guilty of a variety of different offenses, under an amendment to the law on Game Business Development. 关于游戏业务发展的这项法律的一项修正案规定，被发现犯有不同罪行的玩家可能会被处以最多两年的监禁刑罚，或高达2000万韩元（1.73万美元）的罚金。 What is boosting? 何为代练？ The term ‘boosting’ refers to a highly-skilled player using another player's account to artificially ‘boost’ their rank in competitive playlists. For example, a skilled Overwatch player may accept payment to level-up a lesser-skilled players’ profile. “代练”指的是一名技术娴熟的玩家操作另一名玩家的账户来人为“提升”他们在竞赛榜单上的排名。例如，一名技术熟练的守望先锋玩家可能会收钱来帮一名游戏技能较低的玩家提升等级。 |
