Theprimary reason being that the Pubg servers for India have not been shut down by the developers, they continued the servers to run and also recently announced that they are in talks with the government. This is indictive of their hope that the game might get unbanned and they won’t lose millions of players and a healthy esports ecosystem.
If the Indian government wants to completely ban the players from playing the game, the can do it by-
Ask ISPs to filter out known PUBG IP addresses from their routing tables.
Ask DNS providers you stop resolving addresses for known PUBG domains.
Ask Apple and Google to blacklist the apps across phones.
Maybe a combination of these.
But we are not sure when the government will block the servers, such bans might take some time to impose. If the PUBG Corps doesn’t turn off the server access for the Indian region, users will have the upper hand of still playing the game even after the ban without using a VPN. Currently, there is no information on when PUBG Mobile servers are going off. ISPs step in to act on the ban — if ISPs block the app, content can’t be shared as the internet traffic flows through their servers. More over if the government wants they can remove apps from your phone .
WHY PUBG BAN
PUBG Mobile is one of the most popular mobile games in India. It is one of the most downloaded mobile games. The game is so popular that it even got a mention in one of PM Narendra Modi’s “Pariksha Pe Charcha” event where he jokingly asked a parent if “ye PUBG wala hain kya?” (is this a PUBG Mobile issue?).
Because of its addiction, there have been several calls by state governments and the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights to ban it.
