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.

If I'm interpreting the CEOs Post post correctly, the severance package is only applicable if your contract gets canceled prematurely or if you are being laid off. If your contract ends and is not renewed, all obligations are fulfilled, so there is no severance package since the contract simply ends. (Timel/Project based contract). I could be wrong though. It would make sense to have project or time-based contracts - these layoffs mainly affect the "permanent employees."

Ah, that would suck then.

By the way, your account is tagged as a bot account which means anyone that has bots hidden won't see your comments. Should probably change that.

Oh, thanks for the information sir! I forgot that I tried that option to see what would happen, now I know. xd
