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.

are you trying to suggest that of the tens (hundreds?) of thousands of people laid off in the last year in tech, they all found new jobs super easy?

i'm seeing people be unemployed for 6> months, endlessly interviewing for hundreds of jobs that honestly don't even exist, just listed.

Anecdotally, I'm in IT and had a brutal time finding a new job. Took nearly 250 applications over 6 months to find something, hated it (65-70 hour weeks without breaks), and applied to another hundred before finding something worthwhile. I'm no newbie - I've got over a decade of sysad experience under my belt.
