PUBG Mobile explains about the removal of unique Skin in the game

In recent days, PUBG Mobile gaming community has discovered a quite strange announcement in the game. According to the game, one of the skins being sold is withdrawn by developers due to a technical error. The skin consists of a pilot mask and a M4A1 Gun Skin, which is favored by many gamers when it is released in the game.

However, after being released for a while, this Skin is suddenly stopped being sold... while those who have bought it will receive “error” notification from the developer. These people will then be reimbursed 490 UC into their account.​

In spite of being reimbursed, many gamers still feel regretful when they cannot own the Skin set. It is said that this skin one of the coolest PUBG Mobile Skins. However, recently PUBG Mobile has revealed the reason why they have to remove this skin from the game.

When appearing in Korean market - the home of PUBG... this skin immediately fell into the eyes of Korean gamers. They saw the symbol "Rising Sun" or Naval Ensign of Japan on the pilot's hat. In China and South Korea, Naval Ensign of Japan is considered to be an extremely offensive image as it was used during the Japanese invasion of Asian countries. After losing in World War II, Japan no longer used Naval Ensign of Japan as its national flag, but in 1954 it became the symbol of the The Japan Coast Guard and The Japan Ground Self-Defense Force.

So when it appeared in PUBG Mobile, a product developed and operated by a Chinese game developer which is based on PC version of a Korean gaming company, it immediately faces with strong opposition. Korean players immediately recognized this and reported to PUBG Corp and then Tencent to remove this skin from the game.

All relevant parties have also apologized for the negligence in the content censorship and promised to be more careful in the future. What do you think about the removal of this skin? Please share with PUBG Mobile community via Facebook Group below:​
