What a move by Bytedance to instantly become a market leader in mobile games in several geos, and while the price was likely high relative to comps, really smart to prevent Tencent or even Garena from getting Mobile Legends.
Bytedance, the owner of TikTok, has acquired Moonton, the developers of Mobile Legends.
This is one of the biggest acquisitions of the year and shows how Bytedance is serious about entering the core gaming space
Mobile Legends is one of the most popular smartphone MOBA games

It’s tough to be a trend following investor, especially at the earliest stage. At Patron we’re excited to have a worldview that the internet is about to explode with new consumer apps built for a generation of users growing up on gaming centric platforms like Roblox and Discord,
