After every passing day, the PUBG (Player Unknowns Battle Ground) game, become an addiction among the youth of the state. The game has taken over the online gaming scene by storm over the past few months. Its popularity has reached to an alarming stage, not only the youth, but also the kids are become addicted to this game.
Every now and then, we have been exposed to reports of young minds falling prey to PUBG MOBILE’s addiction. It is this immense addiction that made a fitness trainer get admitted to a hospital, after the game’s addiction took over his senses.
He was introduced to PUBG MOBILE ten days ago and immediately got addicted to the game after playing a single match, the addiction rose to such an extent that while playing the game, the man started hitting himself, eventually injuring himself badly and lost his consciousness entirely under the influence of PUBG.
Pertinently, the locals have appealed to the Jammu and Kashmir Governor, Satya Pal Malik to get such “life-threatening” online games banned in the state and country.
Talking to the Young Bites, a private Psychiatrist specialist said “As a psychiatrist, I would say these kind of games take our children away from real world and make them live in fantasy world that creates problems of adjustment in their practical life. While these games may play role in development of intellect as well but physical co curricular activities are a better option for children of budding age.”
“Addiction to online games is becoming more widespread among young generation and get detached from normal existence and forget to eat or sleep as they interact with screen characters, the problem is not just restricted to young youth our small kids are getting addicted towards it,” said Sameer Chandan, a marketing professional in Jammu.
“These gamers avoid their problems by playing games, which in turn interferes with their lives because they’re so busy playing games that they even ignore their studies, bussiness and other youth.
Pertinent to mention here that the PUBG, currently holding the attention of an entire generation is the multiplayer online battle royale game in which 100 players are dropped on a map, that has a circle on it symbolling the ‘safe zone’.
This circle is constantly shrinking, so players have to make sure to be inside it while also collecting armor and health kits, and killing as many players as possible till they are the last ones standing.
