Students addicted to survival games
After these two games were released, they gained a huge amount of popularity worldwide. Fortnite and PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PubG) are the most addictive games. Fortnite is available on Xbox One, Playstation 4, PC and on IOS for iPhone. PubG is available on Android, iPhone and Xbox One as well. The popular places that most people play is in school and at home, but there are problems about being addicted to Fortnite and PubG. The companies that created Fortnite and PubG reminded players not to play either of these two games at school because it’s distracting while being in class and teachers are of tired of having their students playing on their phones. Most parents are worried about how their children are spending too much time playing Fortnite or PubG at home or wherever they go.
This is part of technology addiction and can cause people having symptoms like insomnia, drowsiness, anxiety and eye strain. You may become the growing number of Americans if you are using or addicting to your smartphone. Some people may heard “Nomophobia”, it means that it’s a fear of being without your mobile phone or unable to use your phone for some reason. Since Fortnite and PubG are too much addiction games, people get this symptom after spending on one of the two games for a very long time. Players would learn themselves not to spend too much time on Fortnite and PubG, they can just play one of them for at least 2-3 hours, those hours can be the best time to play.
In some school county districts, teachers have seen their students playing Fortnite and PubG during class. Being on mobile phones playing either of the two games in class is a waste of time because students were supposed to do assigned classwork, but they decided to forget about it. Some students get caught by their teachers playing and decided to get their phones confiscated before being sent to the main office. Teachers could ban students from playing Fortnite and PubG so that they can learn and finish completing assignments in class.
Fortnite and PubG players don’t know that which game is the best to play, probably they’ll make votes and decide what is game is better. Parents should still remind their children about being online for at least 2-3 hours, take plenty of breaks before going back on again, and learn how to not be addicted to both games. Fortnite and PubG are still highly popular to the world, but it’s bad on being addicted to those games.
