Let's go into the details of the ministers who are asking for a ban on Battlegrounds Mobile India which has not yet been launched and why they are asking for it.
PUBG Mobile is a popular mobile battle royale title in many parts of the world. Since the game was banned in India in September last year, many Indian gamers have tried playing the Korean version of PUBG Mobile instead, as its servers are unrestricted. After the initial ban, the PUBG Mobile KR ban in India has been devastating news for Indian gamers playing this game without using a VPN directly from India.
PUBG Mobile has restricted players from outside of Korea and Japan on the PUBG Mobile KR game. Krafton will start restricting access to the game from July 1, 2021. Until now, due to the ban on the Indian version of the game, users in the country were downloading APK until PUBG Mobile KR Ban and were playing there. But thanks to a new update, the developer has decided to end access for players from regions other than Japan and Korea.
With the upcoming launch of Battlegrounds Mobile India and the launch of pre-registrations a few days ago, it seems to have the same fate as its previous versions. The upcoming game had even released a teaser and a brand new Battlegrounds Mobile India logo has shattered all speculation of new battle royale games coming to India. With the game starting in July, politicians are calling for a ban on the game. Former Union Minister and current Arunachal Pradesh MP Ninong Erin has written to the Prime Minister stating that the game's release is a threat to Indian privacy and security.
Another MP, Abhishek Singhvi, tweeted that the release of the game is Tencent's re-entry in India. Although the game has yet to be released and is not available to download, it has been surrounded by further controversy. Indian politicians are seeking to ban the game as it threatens the privacy and security of Indian citizens. The request was made by former Union minister and current MP for Arunachal Pradesh, Ninong Erin. The MP wrote to the Prime Minister asking for an immediate ban and "not to allow Chinese deception".
He said several PUBG-related companies including Krafton, Tencent and PUBG India Pvt. ltd. tries to circumvent Indian laws and deceive Indian citizens and government by relaunching the game under a new name. He added that it was a "mere illusion and trick to run the same game with minor changes to collect user data from millions of our citizens and transfer it to foreign corporations and the government. Chinese".
Although it is not possible to ban a game before its release, fans are speculating on the seriousness of the situation and are again worried about its withdrawal. Although a game does not require government permission to launch a game, it may be banned due to a data security breach.
