An Important Update about Riot’s Future (www.riotgames.com)

TLDR: Riot is downscaling. The severance package is great but it's another round of layoffs in the industry.

This will also majorly affect Legends of Runeterra. They're putting the game on life support it seems, and will focus on the PvE mode.

They're also shutting down Riot Forge, their collaboration with other studios to make smaller games with their IP.

Riot is a trash company.

I feel for the employees who lost their jobs.

Its always grating when CEOs say they "take responsibility" but they're not taking a demotion and paycut. No, somehow, the idiots who made the shitty decisions get to keep making them. Apparently that's "responsibility."

I was laid off from my small warehouse job because the company wasn't making enough money. The next month my boss took his family on an African safari. Eat the rich.
