We heard police in India arrested ten college students for playing PUBG after
some cities in Gujarat, India restricted the title, and now an entire
nation has done the same. Nepal has directed every ISP and mobile
operator to ban the game after The Metropolitan Crime Division had filed a
Public Interest Litigation at the Kathmandu District Court on
Wednesday, seeking permission to ban PUBG. In its litigation, the
division said that the game was having a negative effect on the
behaviour and study of children and youths. The district court gave
permission to ban PUBG the same day.
Not only kids, but adults are also addicted to the game. Psychologist
Gopal Dhakal said they were receiving cases of even professionals not
being able to concentrate on work and missing deadlines, besides other
behavioural, social and family problems, because of addiction to PUBG.
PUBG, which was released in 2017 for Windows PC and in late 2018 for
smartphones, is an online multiplayer battle royale game. In the game,
up to 100 players parachute onto an island and scavenge for weapons and
equipment to kill others while avoiding getting killed. The last player
or team standing wins the round.
