On the contrary, PUBG,
after a few attempts, got banned in China as the government thought it would
put an adverse effect on the minds of the young and aspiring generation and
lead to severe consequences.
For those, who are
thinking how much amount of “Chinese element” is present in the game, it is to
be noted that Tencent holds just a 10% stake in PUBG's parent company
Bluehole. Ironically, the game is played more in India than in China as studies
by Quartz in 2018 showed that 62% of the 1000 respondents who are hooked
to this game are from India.
Popularity of pubg
As per a recent report,
PUBG Mobile is one of the most famous games across the globe and is edging
closer to half-a-billion downloads. It has about 50 million active users who
play the game on a daily basis. In fact, during the lockdown period in India,
PUBG emerged as the 'most played game' in the country.
About 22 lakh people played the game in May while the second game on the list is Minecraft which engaged a distant 8.2 lakh people. Some of the other popular games were Fortnite, League of Legends, Counter-Strike, World of Warcraft and Clash of Clans.
Facts of the game
While the PUBG game was
developed by a Korean game-maker, the mobile version of the game was developed
by Tencent, a Chinese conglomerate. As far as the origins of the game go, it
remains a Korean product. It remains to be seen if PUBG Mobile manages to
make a comeback in India or not.
