Riot Games to Pay $100 Million in Discrimination Case

Riot Games, the video game developer behind popular titles like League of Legends and Valorant, has agreed to pay $100 million to settle a gender discrimination lawsuit. The lawsuit was filed by a group of female employees who alleged that they were subjected to sexual harassment, pay discrimination, and retaliation.

The settlement is the largest ever reached in a gender discrimination case in the video game industry. It is also a significant victory for the plaintiffs, who had been fighting for years to hold Riot Games accountable for its discriminatory practices.

The settlement includes a number of provisions, including:

  • A $100 million fund to be paid to the plaintiffs and other affected employees.
  • The creation of a new diversity and inclusion department at Riot Games.
  • The implementation of new policies and procedures to prevent discrimination and harassment.

The settlement is a major step forward for gender equality in the video game industry. It sends a message that discrimination will not be tolerated, and it provides a blueprint for other companies to follow.

In this podcast, we will discuss the details of the settlement, the implications for the video game industry, and the future of gender equality in gaming.
