Despite the game being available internationally and fully localised for a Chinese audience, this large section of the audience seems short-tempered and underserved, with official Chinese servers either nonexistent or poorly maintained, as in order to enjoy the game, many Chinese players have had to connect to the North American or EU servers.

There are plenty of Steam reviews from the other side of the fence complaining about laggy Chinese players warping around the environment, making them especially hard and unpredictable targets. This situation seems bad enough to begin with, but tempers flared yesterday, with Chinese players claiming to have have seen in-game ads advertising an 'accelerator' VPN service intended to provide smoother connections to international servers.

Are you a Chinese Battlegrounds player, angered by the promotion of this VPN service in-game? Have you bumped into Chinese players on the North American servers and found their connections problematic for gameplay? Are you a Streamer who has found themselves sniped, or a player banned for this offense, whether committed or not? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
