The ban still affects many Battle Royale games, which in turn face many problems for large companies, and even governments as well, as a comprehensive ban was applied to all PUBG Mobile activities in India at an earlier time.
The game's servers were officially stopped in implementation of government orders that had called for it in the past, and under the pretext of government fears of violating privacy and posing a threat to Indian national security due to security issues related to the publisher Tencent, and thus ended a long chapter of tension and attraction and the curtain came to a great success story in the game inside the country.
But a glimmer of hope appeared a few days ago for the PUBG Mobile game, and he may be the one who contributes to bringing it back to the palace of the winds again, after a new partnership with the global electronics giant Microsoft, where PUBG Mobile data will be hosted on Azure servers through Microsoft.
The news was announced by the South Korean parent company, Krafton, the developer of PUBG Mobile, as it announced plans to move the PC version and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds console version, as well as PUBG Mobile to Microsoft Azure services.
In a report issued by TechCrunch, a company specialized in data analysis and Internet services, in which it stated that this decision may be a ray of hope on the way back to the PUBG Mobile game to be available again in India, especially after its separation from the Chinese company Tencent, where it will be published by the same developer PUBG Corp.
But until now the return has not been officially confirmed, and as long as the essence of the problem was basically the security of user data, which the government considered a threat to its national security, the matter will be different as long as the game data and servers are under the supervision of Microsoft, where the Indian government trusts it.
But until this moment, PUBG is still completely banned in India, and there is no information that government officials may reconsider this decision, which I consider a "lucky political" decision, and of course, the ban decision had a significant impact on PUBG Corporation's revenues and its position. Among the battle royale games, especially India constitutes a large part of the fandom of the game in Asia and the world.
