I even allowed the battle royale genre it kicked off to become the biggest thing in gaming, regretfully culminating in the <em>Fortnite<\/em> world we now live him. But enough is enough. No more. I\u2019m sorry but I, Jordan, have banned <em>PUBG<\/em>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/games\/playerunknowns-battlegrounds-is-the-dota-of-shooters-1708660\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">I just don&#8217;t like it<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The nation of Jordan agrees with me as that government has also just banned the massively popular shooter.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oWQL_HiaOVc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Citing the World Health Organization\u2019s recent study on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/culture\/who-adds-gaming-disorder-to-list-of-official-diseases-1788884\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">harmful video game addiction<\/a>, Jordan\u2019s Telecommunications Regulatory Commission officially banned the game last week on July 4. The group cited the game\u2019s violence and potential for social isolation as rationale. The group also claims the population supports this ban, saying citizens previously expressing negative opinions about the game. And six more games, including <em>Fortnite<\/em>, could also be banned soon.<\/p>\n<p>Along with Jordan, <em>PUBG<\/em> has been banned by Iraq, parts of India, and temporarily in Nepal. Massive Chinese company Tencent has a stake in <em>PUBG<\/em> developer Bluehole, but even they have been unable to fully launch the game in the massive Chinese market. The government restrictions are just too arduous to overcome. Instead, they use the mobile version and PC alternatives as a workaround complete with hilariously macabre censorship changes like soldiers who wave goodbye and leave the battlefield after being shot instead of just dropping dead.<\/p>\n<p>If you ask nicely, I might lift my ban on\u00a0<em>PUBG<\/em>.
