Brands jump in with posts as #PUBGbanned dominates social media trends

While food delivery apps and restaurants offered ‘real chicken dinner’, Tinder India said, “Maybe he’ll stop playing games now”. There were also plenty of offers for gamers who were deprived of their game.

Here are some of the posts on social media:
