PUBG ban creates a wave of brand creatives on social media

Popular gaming app PUBG Mobile and 117 other applications have been banned by the Information and Technology Ministry on Wednesday. Earlier in June, the IT ministry had banned several Chinese-owned applications like TikTok, ShareIt, UC Browser, Likee, WeChat, and Bigo Live. The decision was taken by the Indian government due to the face-off between India and China in eastern Ladakh, which led to the death of 20 Indian Army soldiers.

Following the announcement of the ban, with PUBG being an immensely popular game, brands shared their take on the same and highlighted the reactions of PUBG players. Here, take a look:
