The employees of Massive Gaming are accusing its CEO of various crimes.

In late March 2015, Massive Interactive Revolution, Inc., the Philippine game publisher behind the live service gaming brand Massive Gaming, was controversially closed down after its CEO abandoned the company. The closure came after its employees began accusing the company's CEO, Miguel Felix S. Limon, of various fraud practices and employee maltreatment. Employees were also directing complaints at Sarah Mia B. Salvador, the company's human resource manager.

The list of crimes that the company allegedly committed included non-payment of employee salaries and benefits, non-payment of developer and publisher royalties for its live service games, non-payment towards suppliers, and tax evasion.

The issue remains unresolved, with the company's former CEO pursuing careers in other companies as of 2025.

On March 21, 2015, the employees of Massive Interactive Revolution started a social media campaign on Facebook to raise awareness for the alleged crimes of its CEO, Miguel Felix S. Limon. In the now-deleted post on the Mercenary Online Philippines Facebook page, the following crimes were stated:^[1]

1. Since August 2014, the company failed to pay royalties to Chinese developer Yingpei Games, the developer of Mercenary Online, which resulted in the developer refusing to release game patches to the company. The same scenario also happened with South Korean developer Dream Execution for WarRock and Chinese developer Aurora Interactive for The Aurora World. These meant that the games were essentially operating as private servers masquerading as official ones.
2. The company failed to pay suppliers for assets bought for the company.
3. The company failed to remit deducted employees' shares for mandatory government social service payments like the Social Security System (SSS), Pag-IBIG, and PhilHealth. The company also failed to remit employees' withholding tax for 2 years, including for loan payments. This resulted in loan application rejections for its employees.
4. The company failed to release 3 months' worth of transportation allowance to Massive Gaming’s Field Team. Despite the lack of allowance, the team was still required to fulfill its targets.
5. The company failed to pay its employees' salaries.

The post also stated a recent incident involving Limon's father, Edgardo Limon, who is the CEO of two Makati-based Electronic Filing and Payment Service companies: Wireless Technology Solution, Inc., and IntextTelcom Systems, Inc. Both companies faced tax evasion charges for failing to pay tax deficiencies, which amounted to a combined total of ₱167.75 million.^[2]

The employees, who still had control of all the company's social media accounts on Facebook and Twitter, used them as an opportunity to spread awareness of the CEO's alleged crimes. Massive Gaming's website was also hijacked.

During the ongoing controversy, which included the hijacking of the WarRock Philippines website, on March 25, 2015, the WarRock Philippines Facebook page announced that the Massive Gaming WarRock accounts would be migrated to the LeadHope Digital service with the help of the game's developers, Dream Execution.

On the same day, the company's Human Resources Manager, Mia Salvador, resigned without the knowledge of the employees.^[3]

On March 26, 2015, employees of Massive Gaming received a memorandum stating that they would be vacating their current office in Makati City and were advised to collect their personal belongings. The memo did not state where the company would be moving to, and it is the last official communication by the company to its employees.

The employees hinted at the company's suspicious nature, revealing that during the company's three-year existence, it had moved into four different office locations.^[4]

On March 27, 2015, the "Employees vs. Massive Gaming" Facebook page was created, revealing many of the details of the controversy, including filing for complaints at the Philippines' Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) agency.

During the same day, Mercenary Online was shut down.^[5]

DOLE hearings were scheduled on April 24 and April 30, 2015. The responding party, the company's CEO Miguel Limon, was a no-show at both hearings.^[6]

All of Massive Gaming's operations were shut down, with the exception of WarRock Philippines' service, which was migrated to Leadhope Digital. Game credit/prepaid card distributors were left with unsold inventory due to the short notice regarding the company's closure.^[4]

Miguel Limon's LinkedIn profile shows that he continued to pursue opportunities in other companies.
