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.

I guess the reasoning is

The company is doing great => the CEO does a great job

Company needs to downsize=> can't afford a change in leadership in these trying times

It gets more complicated when the CEO is also a founder/owner

I would be happy if they just didn't get their bonuses and the downsizing started with their pays ale before anyone got fired. Of we can't have that, think of their poor third yachts.
