GameGeneration, a Korean game criticism webzine, is a magazine that seeks to be lighter than a journal and heavier than a popular magazine. GameGeneration, which explores the social context of contemporary digital games from a critical perspective, is published bimonthly and has an English-language page for overseas readers.

In Korean gamer communities, there's this saying about playing games from the Steam library: "Back then, we never paid to play the game. Nowadays, we never play despite paying the game." The phrase sarcastically highlights the contrast between the game market back in the 80s-90s, when no one actually paid a fair price for video games with the abundance of pirated and copied games in Korea, compared to now with digital game distribution channels when people do not play the game despite after purchase.
