So when ordinary citizens were demanding this back then they were harassed by media cell to be mullah and whatnot.

Bunch of idiots. I don't think just pubg is the cause of suicide. Actual truth is something else.

 

[Pan-Islamic-Pakistan]

I never played this game, what about this game makes people commit suicide?

Is it playing ranked matches? Cyber bullying?

Hey guys, try Payload mode thats by far better than every other map in the game.

I never played this game, what about this game makes people commit suicide?

Underlying causes, this game was simply a catalyst for their mental problems. I play the game quite often, I get mad sometime but I never get bullied or anything and never thinking of killing myself.

Rotey raho

Best game I ever played was on steam called payday.

anyways these kids were retards. Banning the game will not solve the problem because these types of emotionally fragile children will just look for another excuse to off themselves. Mental health is a problem that is either ignored or frowned upon in Pakistani society. The nation needs to take this problem seriously and address it appropriately.

I heard of tv that the suicides happened because parents took their phones away however ARY is saying something else whatever the case maybe just put parental locks on phones before giving them to your kids

Maybe if parents started regimenting their kids play time at a young age this wouldn't happen. You let them play constantly and they get addicted and act irrationally when their addiction is taking away.

Also parents should monitor what games their kids play I see so many parents being perfectly fine with their kids playing cod,pubg or bf

 

[BL33D]

Dont blame the game if you are noob. Git Gud

I mean, yeah young kids below 13 should not play those games I agree.

I think their parents took their phones which made them have gaming withdrawal.

i think this game might be part of population control agenda of global powers controlling world and in future they will release more much lethal weapons
