PUBG Corporation, a South Korean gaming company is the owner and developer of the game, which is the company’s intellectual property.
The company stands a right to establish the publishing platforms in select territories which is why it is proposing to move its publishing to India. This may comply with the Indian government’s policies and security concerns.
