Images of VNG Games Appear on the 19h News, Raising Concerns Among Youth

Time is often considered more precious than gold or silver, even more valuable than money.

Because money can be earned back if lost, but time that passes cannot. In the 19h news program on VTV last night (December 9), a report discussing the issue of time-wasting gained attention.

According to the broadcaster, on average, Vietnamese people spend 2 hours and 25 minutes on social media each day, ranking in the top 20 globally. While it may seem that “scrolling” through social media during free time provides entertainment, this action is actually thought to make people feel lethargic and more tired.

In the report on time-wasting, the team provided examples from various real-life fields to illustrate the topic.

Here, images of PUBG Mobile – VNG’s “pet game” unexpectedly appeared. This indicates that playing PUBG Mobile is also considered a waste of time on unproductive activities. Consequently, it reduces each individual’s learning efficiency, wasting resources and opportunities.

Previously, in another news segment, VALORANT was also mentioned when a male player of this game shared that his average playtime per session ranged from 2 to 12 hours. The physical and mental health of this male gamer was affected.

Right after that, VTV continued to point out the dangers of video games. The broadcaster presented a series of real images and videos about the impacts of various games. They advised parents to only allow their children to engage with this form of entertainment for less than 2 hours a day to prevent dependency.
