- “I've spent a lot of time in this game since the beginning of season 1 on PUBG Mobile, but after playing many different types of games, I can say that this has way too many flaws. The driving mechanics are poor, the map is really long where you are just running for like 10 minutes until someone snipes you from 200 meters away, and the ranking system is really tedious. I could go on and on about the flaws of this game; it was pretty good for its time, but now I think it is boring.”
- “I don't know what is happening with my BGMI account; I got banned for no reason. I have been playing this game for the last four years, never used any third-party app, and have never violated any rules or regulations. Customer support is very bad; you describe your problem, and they send a robotic email reply. After years of grinding, when you play well, some people report you, and the BGMI team doesn't check; they just ban you for no reason.”
- “We all know that it is a tedious task to ban the hackers, but it has become much less entertaining.”
