1 Year Later, Riot Games Wins US$2.9M Lawsuit Against Mobile Legends Developer
It seems that Moonton is now US$2.9 million dollars poorer thanks to Riot Games and Tencent Holdings’ tenacity and persistence. The charges? Copyright infringement from Moonton’s part since their game Mobile Legends Bang Bang is essentially a League of Legends rip-off from aesthetics to gameplay.
Okay, now that we’re done with the recap, let’s proceed with the story. According to Dot Esports, Moonton was supposed to pay just US$388,000 according to the official court document from Shanghai No. 1 Intermediate People’s Court. However, the court ruled that the original settlement was incorrect.
Moonton used a valuation of the settlement based on how tax authorities calculate value instead of basing it on book values. Because of this, the figure jumped up to US$2.9 million.
To add more fuel to the fire, Tencent’s other MOBA King of Glory is joining forces with Riot to sue Moonton for additional copyright infringement cases. With Mobile Legends and League of Legends being super-popular here in Malaysia and Singapore, you don’t need us to tell you that the games are eerily similar to one another.
