Why is PUBG still working?
Indian government has decided to ban PUBG but game still seems to be working. This is likely going to be similar to Tik-Tok ban that has also gained a lot of attention on social media. Apple and Google have already been contacted by government for removal of PUBG from ir app stores on Indian servers. Currently, game can be played on phone and PC but soon it will be completely inaccessible after network companies like Jio and Airtel start blocking PUBG connection to servers after getting tification from government. game has just been banned from mobile servers but players can still play game through ir PCs. That is because PC version of game has been created by PUBG Corporation, which is a subsidiary of a Korean game developer, Bluehole.
