Piyush Kumar, the Chief Executive Officer of Rooter recently opened up about the BGMI ban in India to Economic Times. The visionary leader understands that a huge portion of the esports sector was invested in BGMI. However, he believes that gamers will quickly switch to other titles soon. Therefore, the crisis won’t last long.
“A lot of tournaments and platforms focused only on BGMI. So, everybody who was centered on BGMI will have to rework, but gaming is here to stay. Gamers will move on to other games quickly, which we learned after the government banned PUBG.”
“If you ask me, we aren’t worried as only 30-35% streams on Rooter are of BGMI. We wish it didn’t happen, but now that it has, we hope it comes back.”
