Pakistan temporarily bans PUBG due to 'negative impact'
By MYBRANDBOOK
Pakistan has temporarily blocked the popular online game PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) after receiving complaints of its addictiveness and following media reports linking the brutal, multiplayer shoot them up to suicide.
The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority said it had received "numerous" complaints from people saying the game has a "serious negative impact on (the) physical and psychological health of the children" who play it.
Pakistan's Dawn newspaper last month reported that police in Lahore had recommended a ban after a teenaged player killed himself. The newspaper said police believe the 16-year-old boy committed suicide after he failed to accomplish a mission.
Pakistan's move follows similar bans in Jordan, Iraq, Nepal, the Indian state of Gujarat and the Indonesian province of Aceh.
