This move comes amidst a high risk game of chicken being played out in Kashmir along the Indian border with China

There are close to 33 million active PUBG players in India, according to reports. The game clocks some 13 million daily users.

According to the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, the mobile game has been banned along with the other Apps under Section 69A of the Information Technology Act, on grounds that "they are engaged in activities which are prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, security of state and public order".

Not a fan of this move.
For some reason, the Indian Government is unwilling to actually do something big against China, instead opting for big announcements that eventually amount to... nothing

PUBG? As in Desktop PUBG, PUBG Mobile, or Both?

Because if it's Desktop PUBG, they got the wrong door, that's a Korean joint, not Chinese.

What can they do? Going to war is not an option. Not that this move will make any difference.

33 million players, whoa. What's the platform split? Is it mostly mobile?
