It is the era of virtual games and artificial intelligence. From a long time people are crazy about virtual games. The famous were from GTA Vice City to Fortnight .After this there launched a lot of games when smart phones were introduced.People loved all of them whether it was Subway Surfers, Temple run, Clash of clans, Candy crush or Talking tom. Not only kids but youngsters too were fancied towards these. Everyone found these as a good thing to pass the free time. Also it makes us relaxed. But the games like Pokemon go and Blue whale led the alarming situations. Their end was horrifying then advent.

IMPACT OF VIRTUAL GAMES
Kids were committing suicide and were attempting dangerous actions. These games were not for the welfare but had hidden disastrous intentions. These games made some kids to kill others. They started treating their surrounding as a mission. Even at some places kids have killed humans. The havoc initiated by these games was terrifying.

After these games introduced, parents lost their faith in virtual games. A large number of people begun hating these and were not permitting their kids to play.

Then after some time PUBG was introduced. PUBG was initially loved by many youngsters but now it was noticed that some are willing to put a ban on it .If banned then PUBG will become Indian taboo. In PUBG they give missions and create the team. PUBG is advanced phase of virtual games. It has many features which were not in other games. It has character customization that makes to feel like we are playing the game ourselves at that place inside screen of phone. Also we can add our friends in team of four. But parents view this game from other angles. According to public reviews PUBG is a violent game and leads scariness. However youngsters say that it is just a red puff of blood on screen that appears and nothing such violent. Elders recommend that this game is for eighteen plus only. They believe it is not for small kids. It involves mass shooting and is highly addictive. Some youngsters say that it is cool game.PUBG spread just like wildfire. It is the most downloaded game.

POSITIVE REVIEWS
Even a group of people think that kids learn teamwork and social skills from it. This game is easy to play and due to character customization it becomes realistic. It helps them to decide about different things easily. In other words it makes good decision making .Kids learn how to plan or create strategies. It also provides endless hours of fun.

PARENTS REVIEW
Even though it has a few positive reviews it has thousands of infuriated response. Parents think PUBG as “worst game in history”. They shared that this involves bad habits like drinking, taking drugs and smoking. Parents tell that this virtual game creates real effects. They say it aims at consumerism and spreads scariness. Also they have the view that it can make someone mentally disturbed.

REAL LIFE INCIDENT
As per one review, a boy got addicted to this game within two months. He became mentally disturbed. He began thinking himself as soldier and started using spoons as weapons. The guardian said team PUBG is not going to pay for the kid’s treatment. Also they recommend that if you have younger siblings then you must not play this in front of them. It became virtually true situation.

This is real incident. People call it ‘bloody bag game’. They say that kids don’t know while playing that they spent hours. Although they introduced time limit in game it is still causing bad effects.

YOUNGSTER’S VIEW
But on the other side it was referred as ‘The best multiplayer game out there’. Kids say there is only red mist of blood. There is nothing too gory and horrifying.

According to a section of reviews it must not be played by kids who are not eighteen. It distracts school kids from study. Virtual games keep them engaged in playing and forget everything.It can be considered as most addictive game till date.

PUBG stands for either Persuading Under-age Brains to Gain something or Persuading Under-age Brains to Get forget everything. But the later one seems closer to current situation.

PUBG MAY BE BANNED
Do you know that Gujarat governmentis first who banned PUBG in India. Also the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights recommended to put ban on it.Kerala government also announced to take stringest action on PUBG if complaint rises.

For our welfare either we have to control ourselves or we can remove the thing that keep us distracted. But the kids can’t understand this point. Majority of public reviews say that it is not leaving something good but leading lasting bad effects on young minds. When we think about our nation’s progress, we don’t want any hurdle. If we will engage our minds in such game issues who will think about future.

Conclusion comes with the thought that everything is okay if done within bars. It must not exceed to such extent so that we focus on searching for its solution only. Every coin has two sides. Everything has two consequences. Either it creates or deteriorates. The future is in our hand both ours and nation’s. A game must be played as a game.It must not affect our mental health and evironment.
