ByteDance – Moonton’s parent company and owner of TikTok officially entered the fierce game launch with Tencent.
Perhaps, the fact that Riot Games (as well as Tencent) filed a lawsuit against Moonton’s MLBB (Mobile Legends: Bang Bang) game over the years has caused a fierce storm in the gaming industry. The LoL community as well as the MLBB are no longer strange to this. Finally, after years of being sued, the owner of MLBB has also “countered the dame”, accusing Tencent of “blatantly plagiarizing” MLBB.
A while ago, Tencent planned to buy Moonton, but it all failed when ByteDance spent $4 billion to buy Moonton, completely “taking the upper hand” on Tencent. This is also one of the “historic” big deals in the electronics industry in China.

Long-suffering, Moonton as a subsidiary of ByteDance recently filed a lawsuit against Tencent for allegedly “piracy” of the MLBB game. The violations in this allegation include copyright, copying, title-related information. With these, it is expected that on November 29, Tencent will have to appear in court.
Many people speculate that this will be the biggest “bloody” dispute in the history of these two companies, even though Moonton’s Tencent lawsuit has not yet officially taken place. It’s no wonder, before, Tencent was still in the process of suing MLBB over the issue of plagiarizing two of its games, King of Glory and League of Legends, League of Legends: Wild Rift.
China’s game industry has been heavily affected by licensing issues from Beijing in the past. However, after looking at the games potentially related to the lawsuit, statistics from Sensor Tower, VGVD still owns a huge revenue of $ 190 million in September on the App Store and Google. Play. Up to now, VGVD has earned 1.99 billion USD in 2022, but MLBB only reached 132 million USD at the end of August (statistics from AppMagic). Therefore, many people have rumored that if compared with the two companies, Tencent’s ‘wallet’ is still ‘thicker’ than ByteDance – TikTok’s owner, so this lawsuit Tencent may be very harsh response in the near future.
