Started by Waqar Zaka, as of now there are more than 1.38 million tweets on this trend. I used to play PUBG, the ban does not make much difference for me as i was not addicted to it. However this trend which the Govt. is setting will be bad news for esports and people earning for it.
Pakistan lags behind in IT sector because in the early 2000's when the world's best IT companies were looking for programmers, our road side IT "Colleges" were creating users by offering courses on how to use Ms Office and web development tools. There was no initiative taken by the Govt. at that time to standardize a curriculum for IT education. Similarly today, i see hardly any institutes offering studies for app development.
Our problem is that the Baby Boomers generation, who are now parents and grandparents, are still stuck in the past where playing video games was considered a waste of time and only a master's degree in since or arts is considered "Education". At time where esport players earn millions, game developing companies like Tencent games are billion dollar enterprises, and even game testers earn handsomely, we are depriving our children of an opportunity to make a career in online gaming.
