@Khadeer143 Correct. As far as I can see from the news reports the fact that pubg was banned is not fake news. But the fact that it was banned directly because of suicide is not correct news. The suicide complaints are still under investigation and the court case is appearing today. That part may or may not be true. Possibly that is also the reason that the game has been temporarily (and not permanently) banned yet. The courts banned the game because of complaints received that the game was a "waste of time" and "addictive". Suicide was not given as the reason of the ban, but the reason mentioned that claims of suicide have been made, the suicide claims are being investigated presently, and there will be a court case about the suicide claims on 9 July - today.
Quote:The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has decided to impose a temporary ban on PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) in Pakistan after they received numerous complaints against the online game claiming that it was ‘waste of time’ and ‘addictive’.https://www.opindia.com/2020/07/pakistan...s-suicide/
Quote:The PTA statement also cited media reports attributing cases of suicide being linked to the game and said that the Lahore High Court had already ordered it to look into the issue and decide the matter after hearing all complainants. “A hearing is being conducted on July 9,” it added.https://www.newsweekpakistan.com/pakista...game-pubg/
Probably in today's court case those claiming the game is linked to suicide have to prove their complaint and who knows, if it is proven then the ban will become permanent. However with common sense I would think it is going to be very difficult to prove pubg was directly responsible for the suicides - here is a report that gives a description of the suicide claims that are being investigated:
Quote:Last month, Lahore Capital City Police Officer (CCPO) Zulfiqar Hameed had recommended a complete ban on the online game by linking it to the suicide of a teenage boy who reportedly ended his life after failing to complete a mission in the game.
PUBG, developed by South Korean company Bluehole, was initially released in 2016 and has since become popular globally, being downloaded over 34 million times. A multiplayer battle royale game, similar in style to Fortnite, PUBG sets itself apart by being primarily used by mobile phone users, rather than console or PC gamers. This allows it to be accessible by a higher percentage of Pakistan’s population, where the mobile phone is ubiquitous.
In the past month, three cases of suicide have been linked to the game in Punjab capital Lahore. On June 20, a 20-year-old committed suicide in Saddar Bazaar, allegedly because his parents stopped him from playing the game. On June 23, a young man ended his life in the Hanjarwal area, with police claiming his phone had been found next to his body with the PUBG game app running on it. On June 30, the body of a 30-year-old man was found in Lahore’s Factory Area, with police saying it was too soon to confirm whether or not any online games were linked to it.
