Fans from around the world have long asked Bluehole to block Chinese players from accessing other regions, and Eastern gaming censorship titan Tencent even introduced a host of region-exclusive servers for PUBG Mobile in the hopes that it would incentivize players based in China to stay within their digital territ

When PUBG was breaking records left and right and boasting player counts that gave Valve’s Dota 2 a run for its money, Bluehole seemed content to rest on their laurels and sporadically introduce updates while refusing to respond to player criticisms. The battle royale boom of early-to-mid 2018 saw them making money hand-over-fist, and a major reason for that was due to their popularity in the Chinese gaming space. As a result, the developer wasn’t all that keen on doing anything to harm an extremely profitable economy despite the fact that it came at the behest of Western play

PUBG may be having a roughtime keeping up with its leading competitors, but it still sticks out as one of the first games to successfully stand alone on the merit of its battle royale format. A great deal of the genre's popularity and success can be traced back to

It all started when Chung "Blitzchung" Ng Wai had his competition winnings stripped and was slapped with a one year ban from competitive play after making a political statement about Hong Kong. The two casters who were interviewing him also faced harsh punishments, despite not making political statements themsel

PUBG Mobile is a game of advanced hide and seek. Regardless if said player has no weapons or all the best loot in the game, it's important to know when to run and when to fight. For example, if the player is close enough to another player, try and take the shot if the weapon the players have can connect from that range and ONLY if they can connect from that range.

"Spraying and praying" in a match of PUBG can be a valid strategy, but only in high-risk close range engagements, otherwise it is a inefficient use of a

Most publishers, however, won’t be willing to act on these suggestions. As previously mentioned, the Chinese market is often very lucrative, and region-locking won’t do away with the fundamental issue of cheating. A quarantine of all Chinese players will do nothing but frustrate both standard players and hackers alike in that area, and, should the region’s interest in the game fade because of an artificial blockade, Electronic Arts could stand to lose quite a bit of inco

DayZ wasn't the only game to fall foul of a random ruling either. Kingdom Come Deliverance has also found itself being refused a classification for its 'Royal Edition' which combines the original and DLC into one game, despite the title previously being classified with no issues back in 2
