Indian University bans PUBG and other Online games from Hostel Dorms

In a surprising and archaic move, VIT university has decided to ban online games including PUBG from Hostel dorms in order to dissuade students from “disturbing fellow roommates and spoiling the atmosphere of the hostel”.

 

I really think India has the potential to rise in the worldwide gaming scene considering it has a huge digital market, but things like this just makes me angry. The mindset of people here really has to change. pic.twitter.com/dV7jPwmnGS

This is a surprising move, considering the fact that the University in question, used to conduct one of India’s biggest Dota 2 tournaments, Game-a-thon and has always extended support to esports in Tech/Cultural fests.

However, an anonymous source who stays at the University stated that the ban wasn’t strictly enforced and as long as noise levels are kept to a minimum, the authorities ignore the hostellers playing online games.
