Bluehole, the developers of the most popular game right now, "PlayerUnkown's Battlegrounds" (PUBG), has apologized to its player base after a backlash regarding some inappropriate clothing for the female characters of the game.

During the test server of "PUBG," it can be recalled that the female character models wore an undearwear which outlined their genitalia. This can be seen when the characters are stripped of pants. After some player backlash, the developers have weighed in on the matter and are now working to rectify the issue.

"After looking into this, it appears it came as part of the character model we received from an outsourcer when we first started the project. The file itself has not been changed in two years. It will be updated shortly with changes! Sorry for any offense caused!" according to Brendan "Playerunknown" Greene, co-creator of the game. This means that it was most likely an overlooked mistake when the game started out as a mod for "DayZ," which is another mod of a video game called "Arma 2."

That said, Polygon has suggested that if it had been there for more than two years, it is weird that it just started showing now, at the height of the game's popularity. Apparently, the explicit display was only visible on one specific female character model and not the others.

The developers then had to revert the female character models to an earlier version in order to remove the explicit underwear. However, they reportedly considered other unconventional fixes, including making the underwear of male character models as visible as that of the female character model underwear in question for the sake of "equality."

Despite the decision from the developers, a certain demographic of the player base of "PUBG" were apparently disappointed with the censorship.
