PUBG players upset over ban on online game

MM News Staff by MM News Staff
July 3, 2020

LAHORE: Players of popular online game PUBG have expressed their displeasure and called on the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) to reconsider the ban.
PTA had received complaints against PUBG wherein it is stated that the game is addictive, wastage of time and poses a serious negative impact on the physical and psychological health of the children. Moreover, PUBG sometimes leads to children exhibiting more aggressive behavior which can lead them to commit suicide. 
Recently, an 18-year-old boy committed suicide after his family reprimanded him for playing the popular PUBG game in Lahore. A 20-year-old boy also took his life after being scolded for playing the PUBG game.
Following the rising number of suicide cases due to the game, the Lahore police also wrote a letter to Inspector General of Punjab Police (IGP) seeking an immediate ban on popular online games.
Despite the regulatory authority terming PUBG being addictive and detrimental to players’ health, many social media users have opposed the idea of the game being banned in Pakistan:

If PUBG is getting banned becoz some childs commited suicide.Let me remind you that hundreds of students commits suicide every year because of mental pressure & overburden they face in universities. Ban those institutes,This is not how things work.Ridiculous#unbanpubginpakistan pic.twitter.com/fpgr6wWeZp

#unbanpubginpakistan #unbanpubginpakistan Dear @PTAofficialpk
Don’t blame the game they clearly said that this game is rated for 16+ so parents should keep their children (under 16) away from this game .#UNBANPUBG #unbanpubginpakistan

— Ali (@Alizafar021) July 3, 2020

PUBG is not a suicidal game,it’s just for fun and Entertainment It’s mentioned that it’s for 17+ not for your 10 years old child….Take their phones and Tabs if you really want a change__Change the mindset of your child #unbanpubginpakistan #UNBANPUBG pic.twitter.com/IhbWJesYpt

Pubg is just a refreshing and recreating game PUBG is a business for many young streamers it must be unbanned #UNBANPUBG #unbanpubginpakistan @PTAofficialpk @ImranKhanPTI @fawadchaudhry

— Husnain Bilal (@HusnainBilal7) July 3, 2020

The government will be responsible
if people are depressed
and suicide cases increase due to the closure of PUBG.#unbanpubginpakistan pic.twitter.com/4Z9hJssmf0

Pakistan would not be the first country to ban PUBG because of its violent nature. Last year in July 2019, Jordan, China, Iraq, Nepal, and the Indian state of Gujrat banned PUBG for its possible perverse effect on its citizens.
