PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is so present for some players that they can never stop playing it. A wedding party in India had to experience that.
A wedding recently took place in India where the most important man was conspicuously absent. Because the groom apparently wanted nothing to do with his own wedding and preferred playing the mobile version of PUBG on his smartphone.
A video of the whole procedure shows how the young man in traditional wedding attire sits next to his visibly annoyed bride, having only eyes for PUBG on his phone.
Even when a guest wants to give him a gift, the groom only reacts irritably and swipes the present aside. The package was in his line of sight to the phone and thus disturbed his game.
However, it is not known if the gaming spree at the wedding had consequences for the young man’s marriage.
PUBG is a problem in India
These incidents have also occurred with PUBG in India: The bizarre video of the gaming groom is just the latest incident involving PUBG in India. The country seems to have a problem with the battle royale shooter, especially the mobile version:
- Indian media considers the game an addiction and compares it to hard drugs.
- A man reportedly left his pregnant wife because of PUBG.
- Indian media claims the game is making children into psychopaths.
- 2 young Indians lost their lives because they were supposedly hit by a train while gaming.
- A child has already died because it jumped off a roof like in PUBG and did not survive the fall.
Therefore, the game has already been banned in parts of India and players risk imprisonment if caught playing PUBG. However, this certainly did not seem to be the case at the wedding.
Another bizarre story regarding PUBG is currently unfolding in China.
