PUBG is a popular online multiplayer battle royale game that is banned in Pakistan. However, the game has found a devoted following in Lahore and on the social media platform TikTok. It is one of the most popular games in the world. To learn more about this popular game, read on.
PUBG is an online multiplayer battle royale game
There’s been a lot of controversy around the popularity of the online multiplayer battle royale game PUBG in Pakistan, and recently the government has decided to ban it. After reports of three suicides attributed to the game, the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has temporarily banned the game.
The game is a huge hit on smartphones, but it has also brought violence to many parts of the world. In one incident, a Pakistani teen killed his mother and three siblings after failing to complete a mission in the popular game. The teenager thought that his family members would come back to life, like the characters do in the game. When his parents found out he had been playing the game for hours, they scolded him. The police pressed the government to ban the game in Pakistan, and the Internet service providers agreed to temporarily ban the game in the country until 2020.
Despite the controversy and the recent murders in Lahore, the ban was lifted after a month. The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) assured that the game would be subject to comprehensive control mechanisms. As a result, the game is fast becoming a major force in Pakistan’s gaming industry. Its popularity is reflected in the growth of PUBG Pakistan tournaments.
The game has also attracted attention from the Taliban and has been banned in other countries. Afghanistan has banned PUBG, while China has banned the mobile version. According to the Taliban, the game is responsible for leading the young generation astray and promoting violence.
It is banned in Pakistan
PUBG is currently banned in Pakistan by the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA). This ban is in response to numerous complaints that the game is too violent and addicting for children. It is also said to affect the mental and physical health of children. There have even been cases of suicide linked to the game. The PTA has decided to suspend the game until it looks into the complaints further.
The game has been the subject of controversy for a long time. India, Bangladesh, and Nepal have all banned the game. Now, Pakistan is following suit. In a statement released to the media, the company explained that it has a new Gameplay Management System (GMS) that encourages healthy gaming habits and reminds players to take a break. There has also been a large number of reports about children committing suicide because of the game.
The PUBG game has become extremely popular in Pakistan, but there have been reports of violent deaths and suicide. Since the game is considered addictive, the telecoms authority has temporarily blocked its access in Pakistan. The government has also banned the game in India following the recent tensions at Galwan Valley. Regardless of the reasons for the ban, PUBG is a popular game on mobile devices.
Despite the ban, PUBG continues to cause numerous deaths. Imran Kishwar, a police investigator in Pakistan, has recommended that PUBG be banned in the country. Telecom in Pakistan temporarily banned PUBG in 2016 due to the game’s violent nature. Other countries have already banned it for similar reasons.
It is popular in Lahore
PUBG has become an obsession in Lahore, where players compete against one another in a game of survival and strategy. It is so popular that a restaurant with an indoor decor that’s full of action figures has been opened on Raiwind Road. The restaurant serves food that’s fast, but is also authentic Lahori fare. Its menu includes chicken dinner, which is a speciality of the city.
However, one Lahore resident has gone to extreme lengths to stop PUBG from becoming so popular. He even killed his own family members, including his mother and three siblings, in the game, claiming that they were trying to stop him from playing the game. However, the PTA has assured that the game has a comprehensive control mechanism to prevent abuse.
The YouTube channel owned by Star Anonymous is a good example of this, with over two million subscribers. The YouTube channel of this YouTuber is home to many PUBG videos, often with Punjabi rap music playing in the background. One such video featured a PUBG player who had 24 kills in a single game. This video was viewed over 350k times and earned him USD 300.
Despite the lack of official support for esports in Pakistan, there is a growing esports community in the country. This community is striving to compete with mainstream sports for fans. There are no formal esports visas for Pakistan, but players from all over the country can play the game.
It is popular on TikTok
Pubg Pakistan has become one of the most popular video games on TikTok. The Chinese-owned platform has been shut down twice in Pakistan because of alleged “indecent” content. The Taliban has also made it very difficult for the public to engage in recreational activities. As a result, the Taliban has decided to ban these types of games.
The Taliban has made public their plans to ban PUBG and TikTok in Afghanistan, saying that the games are misinforming the youth of Afghanistan. The Taliban’s announcement comes after last year’s decision to ban entertainment such as movies, music and television soaps.
It incites violence
The popular online game PUBG has come under fire recently in Pakistan. A high-ranking police officer in Lahore has linked the game to a series of recent homicides, citing a case involving a PUBG addict who murdered his mother, sister, and brother. The teenager killed the family members because he was losing in a competitive videogame. The police found the teenager’s cell phone in his room, and the PUBG app was running.
The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority has banned PUBG in the country after receiving complaints from citizens. The authorities say that the game is not appropriate for young people. Furthermore, they claim that the game is addictive, and poses a serious risk to children’s health. While this may sound like a justified ban, the game’s negative effects should not be ignored. PUBG is not the only game in Pakistan inciting violence.
The ban on PUBG has triggered outrage and anger among PUBG players in Pakistan. The high court has ordered the Pakistan Telecommunications Authority to lift the ban. While the agency tried to defend its crude censorship by citing the PECA, it also claimed that it banned PUBG based on complaints from other sectors of society. However, the authorities did not name the complainants.
The Ulema Council in Indonesia has also issued a fatwa against the violent game PUBG. The clerics have claimed that playing such games will influence people’s behaviour and may even incite violence. In addition to inciting violence, PUBG also insults Islam.
