PUBG Corporation, amid all the chaos, have formulated a new tactic of severing all the ties with Tencent for PUBG Mobile in India. This strategy intends to successfully acquire its previous glory days in the Indian Esports and gaming market.
With the growing tension between Indian and Chinese military troops, the Indian government banned multiple Chinese apps from gaming ones to the utility apps, considering them a threat to the citizen’s privacy and security. The top-notch apps, including PUBG Mobile and Tiktok, related to China, got banned from the nation as they were into shady tactics of wrong mechanics and sharing users’ data for wicked purposes.
About the other Apps
Tiktok earlier incurred the highest loss of 6 billion USD with the first slot of banning of around 59 apps directly or indirectly related to China. However, the second slot of banning 116 apps caused an immense loss for Tencent of approximately 34 billion USD and a massive user base loss for PUBG Corporation.
Following the Indian government’s decision on PUBG Ban, Tencent Games (PUBG Mobile’s publisher) strategized a negotiation with Indian higher authorities.
