PUBG - A battleground facing a Battle

If you have children, teenagers or twenty-year-olds around you, you must have heard the name 'PUBG'. PlayerUnknown's BattleGrounds, popularly known as PUBG, is a famous mobile and PC game that was launched worldwide last March. PUBG mobile, the most popular form played in India, is developed, published and distributed by Chinese Internet Giant, Tencent. Excluding China, the game has got over 200 million downloads and has 30 million daily active users. It is an online game in which 100 live players fight each other while seeking guns, ammo, and protective armour. The last team/ player who survives is declared as the winner. Due to its highly violent and addictive nature, many controversies have surfaced around it. Many schools, colleges, and organizations (like the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights) have petitioned for its ban. While the Gujarat government has released an order to all primary schools to ban PUBG and the VIT College, Vellore has banned its students from playing the game in its campus, the central government is yet to take some action regarding the ban of the game. In the latest update, after a notice was issued on March 6 by the Rajkot Police which stated that the game PUBG was banned, 10 people were arrested by the Rajkot police for playing the game. Even in Jammu and Kashmir, a personal fitness trainer lost his mental health after playing the game continuously for many days and started harming himself upon losing a round and thus had to be hospitalized. After so many cases came Ahad Nizam, an eleven-year-old boy from Mumbai who moved the Bombay High Court through his mother, as according to him 'the game promoted violence, aggression, and cyber-bullying'. His lawyer also said that the petition also gave a suggestion to the central government to form an Online Ethics Review Committee to keep a check on the content of such violence related games. Apart from this, a research came into light, which showed the harmful effects of this game, in particular, but all games in general, on our health. It stated that the game led to heavy insomnia, fatigue, depression, poor eyesight, spondylitis, poor personal hygiene, etc. The Online Ethics Review Committee of China has already banned PUBG, Fortnite along with 9 other games. If the country of origin of the game has banned the game, then does it really deserve to be played by the masses? Should it stay or not? Apart from health, studies, and careers, it affects our lives much more deeply. On the spiritual level, it affects our Karma and creates a heavy negative aura around us, sending out a lot of bad vibes outside. So, does it really deserve your valuable time and energy, while deeply affecting you? These are my views! Please share your views in the comment section! Thanks!
