According to TiMi studios, there are mainly two reasons for ending the Partnership:
US President Orders against Tencent
The first main reason for COD ends Partnership with Tencent is that US President Trump puts restrictions on US Companies to conduct Transactions with Tencent and its subsidiaries. Activision is a US Based Company and didn’t want to affect their mobile Title in the US after the order from President. Later on, it is clarified by President Trump that the restriction is imposed on certain sectors and not on the entirety of Tencent but Activision didn’t want to take any risk and saves them by ending Partnership with Tencent.
PUBG Mobile Copying Features from COD Mobile
The second and one of the main reason for COD ends Partnership with Tencent is that PUBG is continuously Copying many features from COD Mobile which is Said by Activision Studios in a Report. PUBG Mobile is reportedly noticed to copying features and Maps from COD Mobile like Gun Game Mode, and some locations from the COD map. COD Claimed that the game is different from others due to its new features like Gunsmith and Katana which bring up the quality of the game.
Why PUBG Ban in India
