The government notice appears to be coming from Maharashtra High Court with subject “Alliance on the ban of game PUBG Mobile.” In that letter, dated Saturday, December 22, PUBG Mobile is said to be banned for “creating a lot of nuisance and irrespective activities and many students spoiling their own lives…”

Even though the circumstances would make us believe the PUBG Mobile ban notice is for real, looking at the details makes us question the authenticity of the letter. Let us show why the notice is nothing but a hoax and PUBG Mobile players shouldn’t fear to get the game banned in India.

The format: The notice has an unusual (amateurish) format with a dramatic “Legal Action” watermark. The date, time, subject, matter, and the closing looks like a leave letter to be submitted in school rather than a legal notice.

Grammar: It’s uncommon to see grammatical errors in a legal notice and this one has got one too many. Errors like “All we have knew” to wrongful punctuation suggests nothing but an amateur attempt at striking fear among PUBG Mobile players.

The signing judge: A quick search on Google will give you details of the judge in any particular court. Looking for “K.Srinivasulu” in Maharashtra High Court does not show any results, which only means this is not a legit order.

Although we have deciphered how PUBG ban notice is anything but real, we’ve reached out to Tencent Games for a comment on the matter. While it’s clear the game publisher will agree that it’s a hoax, we hope to get more information on why the game could not be banned in the country. _ ibtimes.co.in
