Moonton is being sold because of disappointment
According to information from Reuters, the reason Bytedance sold Moonton was because it found it disappointing. Bytedance has a main focus on expanding the gaming sector, while Moonton is only stuck on one game, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang.
Moonton’s inability to create competitive mobile games other than Mobile Legends: Bang Bang is the initiative of Bytedance to plan to sell it. In the report, it is reported that Moonton will only survive with one main product.
Despite the success of Mobile Legends, Bytedance still considers it a disappointment because it doesn’t match the focus they want. That’s why Bytedance plans to sell Moonton to another company.
However, the ByteDance company itself has not made any official comments regarding this rumor.
