A recent report has confirmed that Jordan has joined the list of countries which have banned Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds in their region.
The nation’s Telecommunications Regulatory Commission ruled to outlaw Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds on July 4th. “A study from the World Health Organisation classified PUBG as a violent game leading to addiction and social isolation.”
Our news sources have reported that the World Health Organisation gained attention regarding the game following it became too addictive for the players this year. Now Jordan has joined the countries including Iraq, Nepal (briefly) and several Indian cities in the PUBG ban.
The TRC in one of its statements claimed that the ban was in “the national interest.” The body also added that the game had received complaints from citizens and authorities of the area and so it was creating a “negative impact” on the society.
TRC also mentioned that recently, a study was conducted regarding the concern, and the results were that the game was harmful to people of all ages. “The study was established to deal with complaints from citizens about the terrifying spread of menacing videogames,” the commission’s Director of Beneficiaries said.
We have reports that Iraq has also banned PUBG and the popular game has been replaced by a ‘patriotic’ version in China where nobody dies. Talking about Nepal, the country also banned the gamed for a while, but the Supreme Court halted the ban, claiming it wasn’t justified.
There are reports that banning PUBG is not the only motive of Jordan as the country is looking forward to banning six other games in the country in the coming days. According to the news sources, Fortnite will be the next game which will be banned in the country.
