Well, games do get better and better production value over time but I wonder if it actually becoming more fun. It is becoming more addictive due to devs incorporating psychological tricks on games. That's not the fault of the medium, is it?
That is interesting. It seems they are banning PUBG mainly because of violence but also because of addiction. Since it is only a single game, I would like to think it's mainly because they have a problem with that game specifically and not addiction in general.
I don't live in India, so it doesn't affect me. I also guess since that game was made in Korea and not India, they are acting like the Chinese on the matter and mostly upset that they aren't making much money on the game. Me thinks there is a nationalist and not globalist agenda here.
