Battlegrounds Mobile India, the rebranded version of PUBG Mobile, is gearing up to launch in India soon. While we hope Krafton has done all necessary homework before rolling out officially, it may still be blocked for security reasons, as vouched by the local politicians . Some of them are still reluctant about the game’s launch in-country and push for a ban.
Can Battlegrounds Mobile India be Banned Already?
The popular battle royale game PUBG Mobile has garnered a massive userbase globally within few years of launch. And just as it grew popular among the gamers, it was blamed for various infamous reasons in several countries, especially in India. Incidents like kids stealing their parents’ money for buying in-game currency or sometimes killing themselves for being barred from playing grew.
As the situation was going out of control, many Indian states have taken notice and pushed for a ban. This was ultimately done when the India-China conflict began and reasoned with national security concerns. Since it’s lucrative, its makers had tried so hard to bring it back to the nation, but no avail.
Requested @PMOIndia @narendramodi ji to not allow Chinese deception #BattlegroundsMobileIndia . It is a big threat to security of India & privacy of our citizens and a way to circumvent & disregard our laws. @AmitShah #IndiaBanBattlegrounds #NationFirst #AatmaNirbharBharat @ANI pic.twitter.com/H8nzUJ4aRk — Ninong Ering (@ninong_erring) May 22, 2021
