Same to be said where I am from too. Free fire and the likes are popular especially they originate around here. It's also because like you said, if you want to blend in, somehow playing this kind of help makes it easier to mingle. Another thing is, around asia market, it's easier to make something mobile friendly and smartphone is something that people have here. I guess this culture are brought internationally through that kind of game and even the devs won't stop making these kind of games because people spend money on it and they're also making payments a lot more simpler and intergrated too.
