Dom's Take: Endgame for PUBG

Finally the mobile version of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, better known as PUBG among game junkies, has gone offline in India.

The Chinese company Tencent Games pulled the plug on all the Indian servers serving the game on mobiles, complying with the Indian government's orders citing data privacy concerns and a threat to national security.

The Web site version of the game is still available, as it is owned by a South Korean firm, reports Press Trust of India.

PUBG is (was to India) a multiplayer game based on the theme of the Japanese movie Battle Royale (released in 2000).

It is a last man standing survival game with elements like survival, scavenging and exploration thrown in.
