This has to be a joke. A game isn’t developed in 2 days.

The Modi govt literally banned PUBG citing “sovereignty & security of India” just so that their crony could launch a game called FAU-G.

I mean there’s not even a pretense anymore. The name literally is a give away. https://t.co/4lRDqRfmZU

Modi banned #PUBG, so his Canadian chamcha can sell a fake version, FAU-G fooling Indians in the name of nationalism. https://t.co/j5LuGazhaA
