Reuters: Indian authorities blocked Battlegrounds Mobile India "for national security reasons"
Reuters sources in the Indian government explained why the country decided to block B attlegrounds Mobile India. According to their information, officials considered that the game illegally transfers gamers’ data to China. Earlier, for this reason, the Indian authorities banned over 300 applications.
Note that although Krafton, which developed the game, is a South Korean company, 13.5% of its shares belong to the Chinese giant Tencent.
It was Tencent that operated PUBG Mobile in India before its ban in 2020. Then Krafton had to make concessions to the authorities and change the publisher, as well as make a number of changes to the game itself.
