Danger players! Five years in prison for a young man who tried to blow up a building in Minecraft.

In Russia, the actions of the popular video game Minecraft have had consequences in the real world. That is the case of 16-year-old Nikita Uvarov, who was sentenced to prison by a court-martial for blowing up a virtual building.

The young man has been jailed for five years for "terrorist training" since a building run by Putin's spy agency, formerly the KGB, was said to have exploded in Soviet times.

On the other hand, human rights lawyer Pavel Chikov said that in the process, two other defendants were acquitted for cooperating with investigators, according to The Guardian.

Three teenagers have been arrested in the Siberian city of Kansk on trial for hooliganism for distributing leaflets in support of a Moscow mathematician and anarchist. Police later said they checked cell phones and found an exchange of information about plans to bomb the building.

In addition, investigators said they found evidence that the youths were learning how to make improvised explosives and planned to try to detonate them in abandoned buildings.

The main reason Uvarov did not receive a reduced sentence was to maintain his innocence, unlike the other two defendants, who pleaded guilty and later received a suspended sentence.

The government's main argument for this punishment is that video games have been used as virtual testing grounds for real-life terrorist acts that need to be carried out.
