riot games settles for 100 million dollars after sexually harassing its own employees.
Male employees (developers, I think) engaged in drunken "panty raids" where they would crowd into a woman's cubicle and take things from her while she worked.
Riot games chose to pay these women to go away, rather than fix the problem.
They make League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics. I will never spend another dollar on their products.
I met a guy who really wanted to work at riot games and found no issue with their culture. And the longer I spent talking to him, the more I realize... Ah, you're an edge lord. Of course you would like the company.
They're also 100% Chinese owned. It's the major turnoff for me with their Path of Exile titles.
I want to add to this their absolutely egregious forced kernel-level anti-cheat. It demands full privileged access to a user's machine, and unlike some competing systems, it doesn't want to go away when the game is no longer being played.
The assurance this won't be used or exploited for ultra-malicious purposes across the globe by a corporation owned ultimately by the CCP is...
"Just trust me, bro."
It's lesser known to people who go outside
And tbh I never knew about that so thanks for sharing!
