On September 2nd, the Indian government announced that it had decided to ban 118 Chinese applications. And the list included PUBG Mobile as well as PUBG Mobile Lite, two of India’s most played battle royale games.
The ban order came amid rising tensions between the country and China. The government explained that the ban was to protect India’s sovereignty, integrity, security, and defense.
Several professional players and streamers of PUBG Mobile quickly gave their opinions on this ban. Ajju Bhai or Total Gaming, a popular content creator and Free Fire streamer has shared his thoughts in a recent live-streaming session.
With more than 11.8 million subscribers and 1.38 billion views, he is the most subscribed Indian gamer on YouTube. Ajju Bhai was born and raised in Gujarat. Although having so many subscribers, YouTube isn’t his full-time occupation. He works as a freelancer, a software engineer, and a “growth hacker."
In 2015, Ajubhai started his career with low-requirement mobile games such as Clash of Clans. In 2018, he switched to playing Garena Free Fire after observing his friends play it. At that time, he didn’t have a smartphone that could play such games. So he played the game on his own PC. On October 9, 2018, he started his YouTube channel.
At first, he uploaded tips-and-tricks videos of the game. After being able to purchase a better smartphone, he shifted back to using his phone and started live-streaming sessions.
At the beginning of his video, Ajubhai requested his viewers not to spam about the ban. During the stream, a teammate asked him about the PUBG ban. He then replied:
“Even though I don’t play PUBG Mobile, I felt bad from within.”
When being asked about Free Fire, he answered:
“The eSports scene around Free Fire will surely expand.”
