PUBG is a massive worldwide success, but it has also faced criticism for reasons such as distracting teens from their studies and promoting violence as a nightmare in parents’ wallets. In another PUBG incident that proved too costly on the working parents’ bank account, an Indian teenager allegedly blew on Rs. 21 lakh (~ $ 21,400) for purchasing in-game items on PUBG.
According to a report by TheTribune, the 17-year-old had access to his mother and father’s bank accounts, and used the savings they had accumulated for medical expenses and his son’s future to buy in-game items and improvements for himself and his teammates . And to avoid any suspicion, he often transferred money from one account to another, and even deleted transaction receipts.
In an attempt to teach his PUBG-loving teenager a lesson, the father forced him to work in a scooter repair shop. “I just can’t let him sit idle at home and I can’t give him a cell phone even for studying. He is working in a scooter repair shop to realize how difficult it is to make money. “ the father was quoted saying.
