PUBG Fans Carry Out Funeral Procession for Banned Game, Chant 'Winner Winner Chicken Dinner'
Carrying a garlanded poster of PUBG on their shoulders, the fans dressed in whites could be heard chanting 'Winner winner, chicken dinner,' as they comically sobbed at the game's final rites.
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds known as PUBG has been banned in India. Gamers are having a tough time dealing with the sudden departure of one of the most popular multiplayer games to have ever existed in the country.
The game recently found a mention of 118 Chinese apps that were slashed by the Ministry of Electronics and Information and Technology for "engaging in activities prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, security of state and public order".
The instant response to the heartbreak the gaming community faced was exhibited through memes. Several others wondered if another popular game Call of Duty had anything to do with China.
A section of social media, on the other hand, urged PUBG to immediately severe ties with Chinese company Tencent, the reason perhaps why the game was axed in first place.
