PUBG Corporation, the owner and publisher of the popular online game PUBG, has decided not to franchise the mobile version of the game in India to Chinese firm Tencent Games. This decision has created the possibility of this popular online game returning to the mobile phone of Indian users once again.
South Korean company PubG Corporation said in a blog released on Tuesday that it respects the Indian government's move as the privacy and data security of the participants in the game is a high priority for it. The company said, 'PUBG Corporation will now take over all the responsibilities related to publishing the game within this country. We are looking at ways to provide our pubg gaming experience for India shortly. We are committed to doing this by providing a local and healthy environment for our fans.
The Indian government last week banned 118 mobile apps, including PUBG, as a threat to national security. The operation of all these apps was in the hands of Chinese companies. Though PUBG Corporation is a South Korean company, the franchisee rights to the mobile version of this game are in the hands of the Chinese company Tencent Gaming. Tencent also has a 10 percent stake in Bluehole Studios, the parent company of PUBG Corporation.
Experts say that this decision of PUBG Corporation may provide relief to PUBG in India. Salman Waris, managing partner of specialist technical law firm Techlegis Advocates & Solicitors, says, "The move opens a legal path for the South Korean company to appeal to the government." It can also appeal to the courts to ban this ban. However, any such decision will be taken by the Review Committee of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology.
Heir says that from a technical perspective, PUBG Corporation will need to install servers in India which will take 3 to 6 months. But the longer the delay, the greater the impact on PubG's market share. Experts believe that in the event of a ban on PUBG, the South Korean company will be able to re-engage its customers. This will adversely affect other popular games such as Call of Duty, Fort Knight, Free Fire, and the soon to be launched Indian game military. Yash Pariyani, CEO of the Indian Gaming League, says, "If PUBG makes a comeback in India, the growing gaming companies will suffer a big blow. This is due to the popularity PUBG has already gained.
PUBG had made itself extremely friendly to the participants by presenting several updates. PUBG has millions of fans worldwide. So far this game has been downloaded more than 600 million times and more than 50 million people play it globally. At the same time, the number of people using pubg in India has been around 3.3 crore.
Given the large market, the developer of this game is looking for a comeback in India. She has said that she will work towards connecting fans with it again, following the laws and rules of India completely.
