Users are outraged because the milk tea making game has a nine-dash line.

In addition to rating the game "Boba Tea DIY Make Milk Tea" on the Play Store with 1 star , an account named Thien Tu also left a comment: "Condemn the cow tongue line". Meanwhile, an account named Thao Ngo wrote: "Games with illegal cow tongue lines should not be played".

Mr. Quang Phuc (residing in Thu Duc City, Ho Chi Minh City) said that this game application must be boycotted and deleted immediately because it does not respect Vietnam's sovereignty in cyberspace.

According to the reporter's research, "Boba Tea DIY Making Milk Tea" is a puzzle application and does not require internet access. Users will play the role of a milk tea shop owner and bartender; they will choose cards labeled with ingredients such as milk, oranges... and arrange them until they reach the required number.

The game has over 500,000 downloads and 1,250 reviews to date.

According to information on Play Store, "Boba Tea DIY Make Milk Tea" was released on April 14, 2024 by an organization called Easetouch.

Visiting the organization's website, we found very vague information, only introducing it as a "young and independent" organization, creating puzzle games for players around the world . There is no information about where or when this organization was founded.

Besides, this website only introduces 3 strategy and puzzle games of Easetouch currently available on Google Play: "Stickman War: Tower War Games", "Galaxy Squad: Airplane Games" and "Merge Bistro: Renovation Story", but does not have the above mentioned bubble tea making game.

Speaking to a reporter from Nguoi Lao Dong Newspaper, a representative of a game publisher in Vietnam said that Google Play is a huge application store, with millions of applications uploaded every day. Therefore, there are loopholes for illegal game developers to exploit to easily insert applications into the platform by hiding fraudulent, illegal features or hiding icons.

"Illegal games will bring high profits to game publishers, not to mention advertising fees. To delete this application, users need to report to the authorities and Google Play with evidence for removal" - this representative said.

Besides, users' awareness and initiative towards illegal information is the way to help prevent the development of that application and publisher.
