Battlegrounds Mobile India – BGMI ban Update
The government of India banned South Korean giant Krafton’s Battlegrounds Mobile India late last month. Before the ban, the popular title had over 100 million registered users in the country. Reuters reported that the GOI blocked the title under section 69A of the local IT law over concerns that it was sharing data with China.
Meanwhile, Krafton also issued statements on the ban looking for ways to bring back the game. However, with the China links involved with BGMI and its servers, it is most likely the game will not return to India. That is unless Krafton decides to change and lay out the game as stipulated by GoI. For future updates of Battlegrounds Mobile India, follow InsideSport.IN.
