The government banned 118 apps, including the PUBG mobile game, in another digital strike on Wednesday evening. Earlier in June, the government had banned many such apps. When the government banned Tiktok, not many people were as sad as the pubs are after the ban.

There are 5 crores, active users of PubG Mobile and PubG Mobile Lite in India, out of which 13 million users use this app every day. There is also a non-mobile version of the game, known as PUBG PC, and is designed to be played on computers and laptops.

PUBG PC is made by a Korean company and is also owned by it. At the same time, the other two mobile version games were produced by the Chinese company Tencent Games and these games are also owned by this Chinese company.

Pabg became popular due to these reasons

There are several reasons for pubg becoming popular in India. Ease of streaming, voice chat with friends while playing and the game is designed in such a way that thrill comes while playing it. These are some of the reasons why this game became increasingly popular among Indian users.

India is the largest market for sports. But these sports account for a large share of the revenue of the e-sports industry. In the last few years, it has been seen that Indian youth are skipping school and college education and playing in professional leagues and tournaments.

In this way, they are earning thousands of rupees every month as prize money. Apart from this, they are also earning thousands of rupees through sponsors and advertising. Also, fan followings of these young players are increasing on social media platforms.

Some of these youth are represented by talent management agencies like 'Abulent Gaming India' and 'Fanatic India', which are dedicated to professional gamers. Most of these gamers specialize in playing pubg mobile or light.

It will take a year to complete the emptiness left by PUBG.

Amul Garg (22), co-founder of 'Abulent Gaming India', said that more than half of their revenue comes through PUBG streamers. People watch other people playing this game live on YouTube. During this, they also receive live commentary. The excitement of the audience remains in knowing who will win the game. He said that the money for this comes from sponsors and audience donations.

Garg said when PUBG was banned in the country, the ban is definitely a setback for the Indian e-sports industry. This ban, he said, would create an empty space, which would be filled by another game. But it can take from eight months to a year for this to happen.
