“League of Legends” creator Riot Games agreed Monday to pay $100 million to settle a class-action gender discrimination lawsuit brought against the video game company by more than 2,000 current and former female employees.
“Three years ago, Riot was at the heart of what became a reckoning in our industry,” Riot Games said in a statement to TheWrap Tuesday. “We had to face the fact that despite our best intentions, we hadn’t always lived up to our values. As a company we stood at a crossroads; we could deny the shortcomings of our culture, or we could apologize, correct course, and build a better Riot.
