Developers of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds have disabled the opportunity to sell game items. In the blog PUBG Corp. she called this a temporary measure, but did not specify when she would return everything to normal.

What is known

PUBG Corp. I do not like the situation that has developed in the market for the sale of game items. Third-party sites buy things directly from players, and then arrange roulettes and other gambling fun. Therefore, this will only affect "personal transactions". Players will continue to be allowed to sell items in the Steam marketplace.

"To prevent this, we temporarily disable personal transactions while we are searching for the best solution. Having found a way to solve the problem, we will cancel the restriction, "the developers wrote.

Have finished

Third-party sites that sell gambling belonged to the Gambling Commission last year. In Belgium, such sites were equated to gambling and banned at the legislative level. Even e-sports organizations have forbidden "sportsmen" to advertise such services.
