Most gamers don’t understand the detrimental effects of it
TURBAT: A newly released game called PUBG (player unknown battle ground) has become something of a drug addiction for many people across Pakistan. This game is being updated monthly by introducing new in-game technology for gamers. It is because of this that people are hooked onto it non-stop. The game itself is quite competitive. Around a hundred players are thrown in a battle ground. They have to kill one another and the last person to survive becomes the winner. The game has more than a hundred million downloads. But most gamers don’t understand the detrimental effects of it. The game can reduce a person’s communication skills. In an era where people should talk and communicate face to face, everyone has their heads down into their servers communicating virtually. This can become quite literally a headache. The media shines a negative light on PUBG. In India, a boy committed suicide for not having a mobile to play PUBG. Some reports claim that boys are continuously playing this game for more than six hours. I don’t understand why people are wasting so much time uselessly. People should use their time wisely because in the end we might just not have enough of it.
