PUBG Shocker: Taking the PUBG addiction to another level, a man has left his four-month pregnant wife and family to play the online game. According to several media reports, a Malaysian man is missing from his home for nearly a month now. It has been reported that the man probably wanted to play the game without any 'interference' so he walked out of his house and never returned home after that day.

The wife of the missing man took to Facebook and described her ordeal into a post, reported World of Buzz. In the viral post, she reported that her husband’s addiction started when his siblings first introduced the game, PUBG to him. Ever since then, they would get into numerous arguments regarding the issue, which eventually led to him leaving the family.

According to World of Buzz, the woman wrote on social media, "It has been a month since he has left us. We are now left with no choice but to support ourselves through any hardship that may come. Before he started playing PUBG, his personality was much more tolerable. However, the situation gradually grew worse from when he first started playing the game four years ago (PUBG didn't exist four years ago so it is possible that the woman is alluding to online gaming in general here). Please pray that he will return to our family."


She further mentioned that the couple used to argue because her husband would be constantly playing PUBG all night long. He had trouble waking up in the morning, causing him to neglect his work and business.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is a widely-played online video game, popular amongst every age bracket. However, the addition of this game has rapidly claimed lives. Youth especially children and teenagers are glued to their mobile screens almost all the time.

Recently, Goa Information Technology Minister Rohan Khaunte said a law was needed in the state to curb online multi-player game PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, popularly called PUBG. Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a government event in Porvorim near here, Khaunte said the game had become a "demon" in every house and students were engrossed in playing it and neglecting their studies.

Earlier, in January this year, the Gujarat state education department had issued a circular directing its district primary education officers (DPEOs) to take necessary steps to enforce a ban on the game in primary schools.

PUBG is a battle game developed by a South Korean firm and is a best-seller in the online gaming market.
