Scout and Dynamo Comments on BGMI’s Return

Following the AKop’s statements, many fans asked Tanmay ‘ScoutOP’ Singh during his live stream whether the information is authentic. He affirmed that Krafton has not disclosed any information to Content creators at all and he was clueless about how others are getting such information. He said, “I have no idea. If the game developers haven’t given any information to content creators, then who will get it? I am not keeping hopes at all. If I keep hopes, I will have expectations, which leads to disappointment.”

On the other hand, Dynamo, one of the popular content creators on Youtube, stated that the game is dead. On a recent live stream, he stated: “The game is dead. BGMI is already dead. How much more will you support a dead game? Every single person is supporting the game so much. Since the game was banned, hardly one or two statements have been released saying we are trying this or that. That’s all. Except for that, they haven’t made any statement on what’s going on, whether we should wait or not, what’s the current scenario, how much time it will take, what the government has said, what Krafton has to say, how much effort Krafton is putting, nothing.”

The Indian rebranded version of PUBG Mobile was taken down from Play Store and App Store back in July 2022 under the Government’s directive. Since then, Krafton released roughly two statements which do not assure the game’s return. This was followed by Krafton’s Indian executive of Corporate Dev. and Investments, Anuj Tandon, stepping down from his position this week. With such incidents taking place, the hopes of BGMI’s comeback are slowly fading away.

The current state of the game is still uncertain, and we will have to wait for official announcements from the concerned authorities.
