A blunder was bound to happen sooner or later...hopefully the kid learns his lesson, the dad could've spent this money in his future but he would still be a spoilt brat, he did his mistake so now it's better that he learns how hard is it to earn money the harsh way and hopefully end up being a responsible person

It is pretty sad. It strengthens the government's case to ban these games, even if this story is from Indian Panjab.

Do you really think if parents give bank account details to his kid he will do nothing out of it. If kid's wasnt playing PUBG. He would have kept money safe and sound.

This kid has the equivalent of a gambling addiction. Here in the UK, kids are spending thousands of GBP in some cases on in game purchases in the football game FIFA. The government has thought to regulate this area properly, the game in question will now have gambling laws applicable to it.

Parents should know when their kid has gone from casually playing games, to a gaming addiction, and should also be aware of the prevalence and seriousness of gambling addictions in games. They make it seem like harmless fun to trap kids into spending their parent’s cash.

Laws need to be made on micro transactions in non pg games

My view is all games with micro transactions should be given pg 18 rating
