BGMI Ban: Krafton Speaks Out, Google Says Why It Removed Game From Play Store

BGMI Ban: Google has released an explanation as to why it removed the Krafton game from the Play Store.

The BGMI ban in 2022 comes as a huge shock to fans of the game. After this PUBG mobile ban in 2020, Krafton had made changes to the game and reintroduced it in India, rebranded as Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) with all necessary changes. However, it is said that MeitY had problems with the way Krafton handled the data as well as its ties to the Chinese companies. For those wondering, both Google and Krafton have spoken giving us an idea of ​​what happened.

In a statement to HT Tech, Krafton says, "We are investigating how BGMI was removed from the Google Play Store and App Store and will let you know as soon as we receive specific information." No specific information as to why the game was removed, but we could get a final statement from the editor in the coming days.

On the other hand, Google has also commented on the subject. A Google spokesperson told HT Tech: "Upon receipt of the order, in accordance with the established procedure, we have notified the affected developer and blocked access to the app, which remains available on the Play Store in India."

Based on a report by Talkesport, Krafton's BGMI has been banned for the same reasons as PUBG Mobile. The government is concerned about the issues related to data migration and ties to Chinese companies. BGMI is simply a localized version of PUBg Mobile that has different policies for data storage and management. It remains to be seen what reasons the government will give for banning BGMI.

While BGMI disappearing from the app stores, Krafton's New State Mobile, formerly known as PUBG New State, can still be downloaded and played. Those who want to experience the PUBG style experience can visit New State Mobile. Additionally, those who already have BGMI installed on their device can simply continue playing as usual.
