Battlegrounds Mobile India is finally here, and it's the PUBG Mobile India that Indian gamers (and publications) have been waiting for. Even though gameplay and other information about the game are yet to be released, the game's privacy policy and terms of service, which were published on Krafton's latest website, have revealed a range of crucial details about how Battlegrounds Mobile India is targeting its largest potential user pool – minors, or anybody under the age of 18. This specifics include gameplay time limits, regular spending limits, and parental consent requirements.
Gamers under the age of 18 will be limited to three hours of gameplay a day, according to the Battlegrounds Mobile India privacy policy. The daily spending cap in the game has also been reduced to Rs 7,000 per day by Krafton. The two restrictions are presumably intended to resolve the controversies that surrounded PUBG Mobile prior to its ban, namely the levels of addiction that the game sparked among gamers in the region. Numerous stories emerged on a near-daily basis citing cases of minors committing suicide, self-harming, or even harming those around them after being prohibited from playing PUBG Mobile,
Under the terms of service for Battlegrounds Mobile India, Krafton has stated that under-18 gamers must enter a contact number belonging to their parents and obtain their permission before playing the game. The Korean publishing house has now added a simple clarification of parental control, saying that parents worried that minors have granted the game permission to gather private data without sufficient supervision should write to Krafton directly to request that their data be deleted.
The new Battlegrounds Mobile India spending cap was enacted in response to previous reports citing several incidents of minors using extreme steps to obtain access to financial instruments, allowing them to spend on in-game goods – a by-product of addiction to the previous version of the game. With this, Battlegrounds Mobile India appears to be on the verge of resuming its journey in the region. Pre-registrations for the game will open immediately, and open access will come shortly after.
