This has proved to be a better news for Indian parents, as they have been waiting for a similar decision for months. At the same time, children and youngsters are shocked to hear this news and are also disappointed.
While some parents complained about the hugely popular video game affecting their children’s learning, many families said that their children have become addicted to the game.
