Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds or PUBG is a household name these days. The game has been downloaded over 100 million times from the Google Play Store and the number keeps on growing. The game involves 100 online players who are dropped on a deserted island, and the last player to survive wins. Different strategies are used by players to remain alive on the battlefield. The game is free to play on all platforms, hence the game has developed a huge player base in a short period of time. But lately, various incidents are coming to light in regard to people being addicted to this game.
About The Ban
On January 23 2019, Gujarat’s government wrote to the Central Government to impose a ban over the aforementioned game. On March 7, Rajkot Police Commissioner issued a notification to ban PUBG. As per the notice, the ban will be implemented from March 9 to April 30. If someone sees a person or a group of people playing PUBG, he/she can inform the police regarding their whereabouts and the associated authority will take necessary action. Furthermore, The Chairperson of Gujarat Child Rights Body sent a circular to the National Commission for the Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) of all states to help keep PUBG addiction in check.
Bans On Other Games
PUBG was not the only game which was banned by the authorities. A similar ban was imposed on the “Momo Challenge”, which is a series of challenges that the user must complete in order to achieve victory and meet an imaginary character called “The Momo”. According to reports, the game involved self-harming acts that eventually led to suicide. Games that brainwash children and teenagers are not new since a similar game called “Blue Whale” gained popularity in 2017-18.
Circulars were being distributed around schools since students started showing signs of addiction to the battle royale game. Some of them were performing poorly in academics. A number of extreme incidents were also reported across the country. For instance, a Delhi teenager committed suicide because his parents refused to buy him an expensive smartphone for playing PUBG. In March 2019, A 25 year old accidentally drank acid instead of water while he was hooked to the game, almost losing his life.

Now, Epic Games’ Fortnite is currently the biggest competitor to this new battle-royale game. Four months after launch, Fortnite had a total of 45 million registered players across all platforms. Apex legends has already achieved more than half that player base in almost 1/16th of the same time. We can say that Apex Legends is going to hit the mark soon enough because graphs don’t lie.

Furthermore, it’s available on PC, PS4 and Xbox One, just like Fortnite. Also, the game is planning to integrate cross-platform gaming across all devices in the distant future, including smartphones. Recently, a lot of hype has been raised around mobile gaming, and we can’t help but wonder about when the initiative will take place.

A lot of Apex Legends communities have sprung up across social media, encouraging new gameplay styles and tips/tricks.

Our goal is to build this game with you, our community, so keep giving us your feedback because we really are listening”. The game’s popularity was boosted by famous professional player/streamer, Michael Grzesiek aka “Shroud”. The Polish-Canadian player has a massive viewer base on the popular streaming platform, Twitch. A lot of gamers were intrigued when they saw the streamer hands-on with the game. Hence, the player base of Apex Legends just skyrocketed.
