“IMPORTANT
Hey Everyone, I have decided to quit BGMI forever.
I have been thinking about doing it for the last 2 years but never got the courage.
PUBG Mobile is the reason I am who I am,
This game made me a better person in every aspect.
I am gonna take the biggest risk of my life,
or I should say, I am bored of BGMI(so are you?)
From Oct 1st, 2022, I will change my content completely.
Thank You.

Maxtern.”
As the fans refused to believe his statement, he clarified on Twitter that he was not joking and did the same with Mini Militia. Further, he said that even though his career might get unsteady, he can say that he tried.
“It’s (his decision of quitting BGMI) not a Joke, I did the same thing with Mini Militia and everyone was laughing and calling it a bad decision.
Believe me, failing without trying is a shame.
Whether my career goes up or down, at least I can say “ I tried!”

Furthermore, Rushindra Sinha, founder and CEO of Global Esports, said that he believes that the game might not come back.
