Following Free Fire’s removal from both the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store, what appeared to be an inevitable move, became a reality on February 14, 2022, with the announcement of the ban. Over the years, the game has built a dedicated fanbase that has now been left disappointed by the turn of events.
The game’s esports had picked up pace in the Indian region, with tournaments already having crores of money planned for the year before the ban was announced. Many players have expressed their views on the ban, including India’s most subscribed Free Fire YouTubers.
