It was released on 23 March 2017 and after its arrival in market it has become a gamer's symbol. Those who don't play pubg are not considered as a gamer by most of its players. Its growth was like a plague of 18th century which grew and was un-control-able so far. As the pubg fever is growing it's becoming more and more intense we'll see what is going on and what will happen in near future.
Pubg was introduced as a mobile gaming app which was extended to the PC users as well. Main contributor in this matter is Tencent gaming Buddy. Tencent introduced its Emulator which supported and was the best emulator for Pubg in terms of gaming. Tencent and Bluehole Company agreed on some conditions and the emulator users and mobile users were differentiated.

If a user use a pubg account on mobile he will get mobile users as opponents but if the same user use his account on tencent gaming buddy or any other emulator then he'll find emulator users as opponents and vice versa. To make it clear that both the platforms are different and no platform has any advantage over other.So everytime you login from an emulator it shows you a message which says "Emulator Detected.Your team and you will be paired with players using emulator."

Mobile users complained about it a lot that it's unfair to compete with the emulator users as they have advantage of many things over them. Especially control and precision of the game increases way more then mobile. Both the Emulator and Mobile(Android) platform have advantages and disadvantages over each other . For instance Android users enjoy more events then emulator users. In this matter Crew Challenge is a living example of it. To ensure android users advantage over emulator(PC) users Emulator users cannot join crew challenge here is a screenshot of such Kickback from a server to an emulator user. It says you are logged in from a non-Mobile device.
