Kids and adults alike flock online gaming platforms to beat corona lockdown boredom

Bengaluru: Just a few months ago, videogames like PUBG were seen as a threat to society for being addictive, and were banned in states such as Gujarat. But now, the ‘war’ game joins family favourites such as Ludo to become a welcome entertainment at home amid the coronavirus lockdown.

Unable to go out and play or head to the malls, bored kids and adults alike are hopping on to online gaming platforms to kill time. There has been a 30% surge in online traffic till last week, says Saumya Singh Rathore, Co-Founder of WinZO Games.
