THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING

Introduction

More teenagers are playing online games nowadays. They play online games more

than one hour a day. They even skip meals, deprive their sleep, and tend to have poor

study results. This can be considered addiction especially in playing Mobile Legends.

Based on Rossel, et al., (2021), ML had over one billion installs and 100 million

monthly active users earlier last year. In March 2021, MLBB had 78 Million monthly

players logging in to the game. ML’s player count is extremely impressive considering that

Mobile Legends is already a five-year-old game and is yet to show signs of slowing down

A research shows that when a person plays games, he can become more apathetic

and minimize interaction and communication with the social environment around him.

Technology like Mobile Legend has eroded the socio-cultural side and communication

sensitivity of an individual in society. All users also become more active and narcissistic in

creating multiple identities that exist in the virtual world (Mawalia, 2020).
