"Player Unknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG)"

First of all, we know what is PUBG.
Player Unknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) is an online multiplayer battle royale game developed & published by the PUBG Corporation, a subsidiary of South Korean video game company Bluehole. The game is based on previous upon the mods that were created by Brendan "PlayerUnknown" Greene for other games, inspired by the 2000 Japanese film Battle Royale, and expanded into a standalone game under Greene's creative direction. In the game, up to one hundred players parachute onto an island and scavenge for weapons and equipment to kill others while avoiding getting killed themselves. The available safe area of the game's map decreases in size over time, directing surviving players into tighter areas to force encounters. The last player or team standing wins the round.


Positive effects of PUBG...

  • Most of the scientists and psychologists say that video games can actually have many benefits mostly is the main one is making people smart.

  • “Video games change your brain,” according to University of Wisconsin psychologist C. Shawn Green.

  • Playing games alter the brain’s physiological structure in the same manner as do learning to read, navigating using a map, or playing the piano. Much like exercise can build muscle, the effective combination of concentration and rewarding surges of neurotransmitters like dopamine strengthen neural circuits which can build in the brain.

In PubG, the character may be running and shooting at the same time. This required the real-world player to keep track of the positions of the characters, where he/she is heading, his speed, where the gun is aiming if the gunfire is hitting the enemy, looking for the enemies & saving himself and so on. All these factors need to be taking into the account, and then the player must then coordinate with the brain’s interpretation & reaction with the help of movement in his hands and also fingertips. This method requires a great deal of eye-hand coordination and visual-spatial capability to succeed.

Negative Effects of PUBG...

  • There are many bad effects of video games are blamed on the violence they contain. That’s what people say about PubG as well. Children who play more violent video games are more likely to have increased aggressive thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and decreased helping others.

  • Those people can be addicted to video gaming. The WHO in2018 declared gaming addiction is a mental health disorder condition creations. Addiction to video games increases their depressions and also anxiety levels.

  • Addicted people also exhibit social phobias. Too much video game playing makes you keep busy with the games only. You may become socially isolated & may be less sleep & also spend less time on other activities like readings, sports, interacting with the family and friends and also sometimes not concentrating on your career as well as unusual attraction.

Although every other person reacts in a different way. For some, its interesting and competitive while for some its boring. A person had said “PubG did change my perception in real life. I have now become a better employee because I am more careful with every single detail at work (I work as a receptionist in a clinic). It’s like it unlocked a whole new Spectrum of ways to act in my brain. I know it sounds crazy but PubG really IS like a drug, a good one that is, when taking responsibly, just like anything else.” on Reddit. PubG changed his life. But other people commented in another way on the same article.

I myself also played this game for a few days and my personal experience is- PubG is a very addictive game. We can’t get asleep while playing this. We spend or waste a hell lot of time on PubG & also not only spend our time playing but also on watching others on streaming channel and youtube. I also faced a kind of heaviness when I started playing because of too much concentration it needs but, later on, this got resolved. I don’t know about others, but I love this game and amazing.
