PUBG: Does Goa need to be concerned about this “dangerous” online game

Information Technology Minister, Rohan Khaunte, last weekend, urged the Chief Minister to administrate a law to restrict children from playing the game PUBG, as it has affected the minds of youngsters. Many believe that the game has caused less concentration in studies, and unfocused on the important things in life. None the less, family and relationships have been put at stake.

 A day ago, Cafe asked a serious player of PUBG about his passion towards the game PUBG.
He answered, “It’s damn good because you can communicate with others through
PUBG, and also play games with unknown people from different countries.
Nowadays, PUBG players earn more than engineers. You can also put the record of
the game on YouTube and people watch, like and share. I believe PUBG is life”

A medical student used to devour a lot of
time plying PUBG; he got hooked to it as soon as the game was launched. Then he
stopped doing his laundry and daily chores were badly affected, he even carried
the phone to the washroom every morning. Later, he uninstalled it considering
it to be a serious obstacle in his studies and mental health but after a few
days he reinstalled the game. He admits, “It was because my brain was
incessantly demanding over and over again to feel the satisfaction and pleasure
of getting a chicken dinner.” (Explanation of chicken dinner: In the game,
“Winner, winner, chicken dinner” mandates that the player can eat one roast
chicken (virtually of course) each time he wins a match”

(anonymous) from Jammu was admitted to the hospital after injuring himself
while completing a round in this game. The victim had himself confessed he is
recognizing people but is still not conscious as his mind is completely under
the influence of the ‘PUBG’ game.

Anonymous on a Forum of PUBG shares his
fears, “PUBG causes me more trouble even though I like playing it. My girl is
always asking why I’m smiling at my phone; she thinks I’m talking to other
girls. I always end up having to explain to her that I’m reacting while playing
the game”

Many players of PUBG have admitted that
the game makes them feel connected and brave; while that is only in the game,
they have lost a lot of friends in the living world.
