Description

How to Set Game Permissions and Computing Devices It relates to technology for individually setting game permissions for each gaming device. Various types of online game services are provided through communication networks, and most online games are designed to be played using various types of game items that perform special functions within the game. Game items range from those that users can acquire for free at any time if they want to those that are expensive or require a lot of time and effort to obtain, and although they exist in a virtual space, they have come to possess real value as many users play online games and desire them. Meanwhile, there is an increasing number of cases where game users share their game accounts (user accounts) with others, and playing with another person's game account is called proxy gaming. In this case, multiple gaming devices are registered to a single game account, and these multiple gaming devices can access all games registered to that game account without restriction, and can also perform all functions within the game without restriction.
