It has only been two days since the Indians were greeted with the news that their the government banned the most popular game in the country, PUBG Mobile . The news was met with mixed reactions. A large number of Indians, especially parents and teachers, welcomed the government's decision. On the other hand, a significant part of the youth and adolescents of the country expressed their disagreement, since PUBG Mobile has been a major source of entertainment for them, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the Indian video game developer nCoreGames comes up with his own replacement for PUBG Mobile with a game called FAU-G . The name is inspired by the word Fauji., which in Hindi (the national language of India) means "soldier" .
