BGMI Ban In India Has Reportedly Resulted In The Game Being Removed From App Stores

On the evening of Thursday, July 28, we were surprised by the breaking news of the BGMI ban. Battlegrounds Mobile India was suddenly removed from Google Play and Apple App Store. Upon further digging, we have learned that this was done on the order of the Indian Government. The details are scanty and there is no official word from the Government yet. Still, here's what we know so far.

BGMI Ban By Indian Government

BGMI

It’s been just over a year since Krafton brought back PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) in a new avatar called Battlegrounds Mobile Inda (BGMI). Just earlier this month, the game celebrated its first anniversary with a special login event. The last we reported of the game was that it banned 45000 players for cheating. Alas, weeks later, we have this sad news for its fans the game has been pulled out of the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. 

This is what Google said to Techcrunch about the BGMI removal from Play Store:

“On receipt of the order, following established process, we have notified the affected developer and have blocked access to the app that remained available on the Play Store in India.”

Meanwhile, Apple is yet to comment.

As for the game developer Krafton, it is still figuring out and “clarifying” the reason for this. 

Those who have the game installed can play it fine for the moment. The game servers aren't down, it seems. 

This is a developing story and as such we will keep you posted.

Really comes as a shocker because the Growth of Esports in India has been tremendous. All will come down to a stop if something happens to BGMI(Top esports game in India) Trust will be broken. People who HOPED, will remain hopeless. I hope you look into the matter @GoI_MeitY

Nothing Phone 2 could be semi-transparent or at least have a translucent charging cable. It won’t be a small phone either. Here’s everything we have learned about the phone from Carl Pei as well as leaks and rumours. Starting with what Carl Pei has hinted at in bits and pieces so far. Official Nothing Phone 2 hints and teasers 1. Semi-transparent USB-C cable pic.twitter.com/LOYjBLa5UZ — Carl Pei (@getpeid) June 19, 2023 So, the top portion of USB-C connector of Nothing Phone 2 sports the signature "transparent design language" of the brand. You can see the Nothing brandng through the transparent part. Carl calls it "nice" and we agree. It does look nice but we are concerned whether it will be discoloured in time.  2. Not a small phone Contrary to what we may believe living in the echo chamber, very few people buy small phones https://t.co/aVolitAzN3 — Carl Pei (@getpeid) June 18, 2023 Carl says not many people buy small phones.
