Information that Free Fire is banned in the Indian market actually has nothing to do with Free Fire in the Vietnamese market. In fact, Free Fire has been “discolored” on both the App Store and Google Play download stores in this billion-population country because it is thought to be related to Chinese developers. Losing such a strong market will certainly cause great damage to Garena, but not in Vietnam, everything “doesn’t matter”.
However, this information also received much attention from the gaming community as well as the mass media. Specifically, yesterday afternoon, Fanpage VTV24 posted an article about this event with the content: “Sea has “evaporated” more than 16 billion USD in market capitalization within just one day after India’s real estate market crash. banned the company’s most popular video game, Free Fire. Investors are concerned that the ban is just the beginning of a series of troubles that Sea may have to deal with.
Besides Shopee, Sea also owns Garena, a company that distributes many popular video games in Vietnam.”
It is worth mentioning that VTV has used two icons implying to call Free Fire by a “slang” name. Specifically as the image above. It is this that has made VTV receive a lot of interaction from the Vietnamese gaming community, because everyone knows that in addition to the official name, Free Fire is also called by many people by a “slang” name like what displayed in the image of VTV.
And from the evening of February 16 to the present on Fanpage VTV24
However, later on the evening of February 16, VTV24 corrected these two icons and returned the name Free Fire in its illustration. Something that few people notice. For unknown reasons, but it is enough to see that the popularity of Free Fire has surpassed the limit of a game, which is something that perhaps no one can argue with.
