The video was made to highlight that major game publishers outsourced time-consuming development work to companies based in Asia in a bid to minimise cost.Lemon Sky said it will abide by all Malaysian employment laws regarding work hours and contractual terms and conditions of employment with employees.It added that it will now take appropriate measures in regards to the allegations.
