PUBG Mobile unban: Twitter reacts as PUBG Corporation takes over development from Tencent in India 

In a major development related to the PUBG ban, PUBG Corporation has decided to cut authorization ties with China-based Tencent Games.

This move comes in the aftermath of the Indian government's decision to ban PUBG and 117 other Chinese apps, a move which sent shockwaves through the million-strong fan base of the game. In an official statement on their website, PUBG Corporation stated that they hope this move will allow Indian players to return to the game, while being fully compliant with Indian rules and regulations.
