PUBG, A BOON OR A DOOM?

– A DEBATE
BASED ON TREND RESEARCH
All sorts of video games set its standards and never go out
of fashion. Especially, it has its fan followers. Well! They are
probably youngsters and kids..! However, a video game will
be lost its charisma over time, when a new game getting
popped up in the market. In my childhood days, I heard
mostly about God of War, angry birds, candy crush,
Pokémon Go. People were fond of playing that. And now,
it’s PUBG. First of all, what is PUBG? It is a Player Unknown
Battle Grounds. Moreover, it is a multi-player shooter game
and it is played only on mobile phones.
Are there any pros in playing PUBG? Will it impact your life
positively or negatively? Is it a boon or doom to society?
The answers depend upon the playing users and non-
playing users. Before coming to this Q&A part, certain
sights might disturb us a lot. We could see people playing
this game in a very keen manner, such that they almost
forgot the surroundings. Even on a crowded train, they are
very much fond of playing this game.
Impact in Nationwide
In India, Millichronicle reports that Gujarat banned this
game and the proposal is raised for banning the game all
over the country. A heavy drop in the academic level of children
who could not handle this addiction is the major reason. They
made a comparative analysis before and after PUBG and found
the above analysis, which is a serious impact on kids as well as
their parents. Furthermore, youngsters are posed to serious
psychological problems like stress, loneliness, violence, short
temper, etc. In addition to this, there is a drastic change in their
behavior towards family and most importantly no sense of
responsibilities from their side.
Current Ph.D. Researches
Recently, there are so many PhD research topics that are done based
on psychosocial impacts on PUBG in India. One such research paper
“The Psychosocial Impact of Extreme Gaming on Indian PUBG
Gamers: the Case of PUBG” – analyzed many psycho-social related
issues and provided as a survey. Another PhD research paper
“Internet gaming disorder in children and adolescents” – provides a
systematic review of children who are the victims of IGD – ‘Internet
Gaming Disorder’. Upon seeing those observations, there are some
shock results on how these games are stringent to this society.
In fact, WHO states that playing a game is often recognized
as a real mental disorder. Finally, to conclude this topic and
provide justification of the same, ‘Yes’ it is a boon for the
founder of the game and ‘doom’ for the society. The
government should take serious steps to prevent the
younger generation from this evil-deadly game.
