Explained: Why Google and Apple removed BGMI from their respective app stores 2 years after PUBG ban

Firstpost  

Google and Apple removed the massively popular battle royale mobile game BGMI from their respective app stores. Late on Thursday evening, Google and Apple removed the popular battle royale game Battlegrounds Mobile India or BGMI as it is popularly known, off of their app platforms, that is Android’s Play Store and Apple’s App Store. BGMI was launched last year as an India-specific version of the popular battle royale game, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds or PUBG. PUBG Mobile was banned by the Government of India almost two years ago because of its publisher, TenCent’s close proximity with the Chinese government, and irregularities in the way they handled Indian users’ private data.
