The surprise happened because a former employee revealed dark facts about Mobile Legends.

A person claiming to be a former employee of Moonton vented about the ugliness of the Mobile Legends game on Reddit using the Mobile Legends BB account. The account’s rant only lasted 1 day on Reddit because it was immediately removed on December 17, 2021 by Reddit.

There is also the status of Mobile Legends BB discussing the following problems:

2. Online Transactions in Game
3. Game Balancing
4. Job Abuse
5. and plagiarism

Employee Recruitment Discrimination

In its status, Mobile Legends BB notifies that Moonton’s policy on recruiting workers is based on race and ethnicity. Priority for recruiting translators was given to Malaysians of Chinese descent, as well as “white” workers for branding the company’s image.

Black workers are not allowed to be recruited because the CEO of Elex Tech as Moonton’s shareholder considers them to be criminals. Although priority was given to Chinese Malaysian translators, one of the higher-ups there saw that native Malays were more suitable for the position.

Online Transactions in Game

Mobile Legends BB stated that the company’s operational funds were fully funded by online transactions in the game. Played by approximately 10 million players, this game is able to reap the benefits of purchasing in-game items of Rp. 8 billion to Rp. 15 billion in a day.

Mobile Legends BB also stated that the money was not used to make the MOBA Mobile Legends game a quality game. Mostly used for advertising on Facebook, instead of game development.

Game Balancing

Regarding the balancing of the game, Mobile Legends BB stated that Moonton is not really serious about taking care of it because the Mobile Legends game is not available in China. They have to use a VPN to find out the problems in the game. In fact, lag in games is normal due to Moonton’s actions.

Job Abuse

Mobile Legends BB stated that the abuse of work is related to the actions of high-ranking officials there who often abuse, mentally abuse, and also treat low-paid employees in Moonton arbitrarily by giving double the workload that should be given.

Plagiarism

Regarding the plagiarism problem, Mobile Legends BB stated that in managing the Mobile Legends game, Moonton ordered employees to continue to monitor Vainglory and Arena of Valor as competitors. They are told to do similar actions to what competitors do to not really be given more added value. Not only games are plagiarized, Mobile Legends BB adds that marketing strategies are also plagiarized.

That’s the summary of the case of former employee status revealing the ugliness of the Mobile Legends game.
