Concluding Thoughts: Can Free Fire Win Back Its Players?
When Free Fire was banned in India due to its alleged threat to the country’s privacy and security, various gaming industry critics observed that it was the end of the Battle Royale era. However, Garena, the gaming unit of Free Fire’s parent company Sea, again pushed the game, gradually increasing the user base. If the momentum continues, we can expect Free Fire to surpass its own previous records.
