Players Unknown Battle Ground, also known as Pubg, is an online game that has already become quite popular. However, many such games suddenly gain popularity, but this game is a little exceptional. So it is in very popular condition so far and it seems, it will not be lost so soon. And Pubg has become very popular in Bangladesh too, everyone from young to old is seen playing this game. And today's discussion is about pubg and its good or bad effects.
History of Pubg
The idea for the game comes from a Japanese film called Battle Royale directed by Kimji Fukasaku, which was released in 2000. Its story is quite different. Here 9th and 10th graders are taken to an unknown island with some food, water and weapons. And a band is tied around their necks, if anyone tries to escape, the band will break and he will die. And he will be able to return from the island, he will be able to kill everyone and survive on the island alone.
This game is now played by everyone from young to old. And this game has created a stir in the world of e-sports very well. Now every year there are all kinds of championships of this game starting from global championship.
Many young people in Bangladesh are now seen playing this game. Many people including Indian players like 'Dynamo', 'Mortal', 'Scout' have become popular through live streaming of this game. Besides, many people have gained popularity in Bangladesh through live streaming. Among them ‘Aminub’, ‘Nub’ are quite popular. All of them are live streaming through their own YouTube channel.
Again, many businesses are focusing on it. This game requires many types of 'Ingame' things, such as 'Skin', 'Royal Pass' etc. And to buy these you need ‘UC’ (unknown cash), and you have to buy it for money. But many do not have a credit card or do not know the process of buying these. And so many people open a Facebook page or website and pay their UC in exchange for money. Many may think that it is such a business! But the real picture proves their idea wrong. Those who are doing these businesses are not able to cope with the service. At least 10 to 20 people come to them every day to buy UC.
Again, many are focusing on PUBG and the business of plastic models of cloth and PUBJGweapons. Needless to say, their business is doing very well. Not only this, many people have built restaurants in the style of Pubg theme. Even in Bangladesh you will find such restaurants, where the whole restaurant has been arranged according to the theme of Pubg game.

And if we talk about the profit and loss of Pubg Corporation, the manufacturer of Pubg, then it must be said that they should not make any more games in this life! Because according to the information obtained from the video games research firm 'Nico Partner', the total revenue of Pubg Corporation in 2017 was 920 million dollars (approximately), and from there their profit has been 310 million dollars (approximately). Daniel Ahmed, a senior analyst at Nico Partners, tweeted about this. But the Pubg Corporation is not satisfied with this income, they expected a better profit, although it is nothing less. And the most eye-catching thing is that 53% of the total revenue of this company came from Asia.
Many people still look at video games with a crooked eye. There is no question if any other game gets popularity. But many are trying to break this notion. Everyone is highlighting the good and useful aspects of this game. In this context, the University of Wisconsin psychologist C. "Video games change your brain," says Soyan Green. Through this game it is possible to connect with people from different parts of the world, again through this game people can learn many new things, for example- they face many obstacles while playing this game. And they have to overcome those obstacles. Through this they find solutions to various kinds of problems, and become adept at solving problems. In addition, there are many things to keep in mind in this game, such as where the enemy is coming from, or what weapon would be best to use in any situation, and so on.
On the one hand, pubg is now at its peak in the gaming world, and on the other hand, the parents of the child are spending anxious time centering on this game. In India, the issue of this game has reached the Prime Minister. One guardian objected to the game and the High Court banned it in India through a writ petition. But later, when it was criticized, the directive had to be removed.

Every parent is concerned about their children, as many have taken it to the point of addiction. And it is natural to be worried, because in India, a young man of eighteen years chooses the path of suicide because of this game. Because, his parents did not buy him a new phone to play Pubg. And in China, a 13-year-old boy was killed while jumping from a building like Pubg's character. His mother said that her son was very cheerful. But he took such a step after being persuaded because of this game.
Again, a 6th grader in the Chinese city of Huayan tried to jump off the roof when his mother snatched his phone. According to a study, 16% of teenagers in China are addicted to video games.
This game has been able to create quite a stir around the world. Again, the idea of many, it is making people addicted, and distracting everyone from their goals. But on the other hand, many people are targeting Pubg, they want to be professional streamers and gamers.
Gaming as a profession has not yet received much response in Bangladesh. So everyone thinks playing this game is unnecessary. But there is no doubt that gaming or streaming will be considered as a profession in Bangladesh at some point.
At the end of this discussion, it can be said that a coin has two backs. So just as there are good aspects to playing video games, there are also many bad aspects. So, like everything else, if video games can be played within limits, the results will be good. But the danger is beyond the limits, at least for young children or minors.
