The following is a copy of the internal message from our CEO.

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.

    The severance package is great

    It always baffles me to think that there is no minimum mandatory severance pay in the good old US of A, but considering 6 months of salary is “great” is saying even more about how low the bar is.

      Yeah, in most of Europe, 6 months would be bare minimum on top of whatever else the employee’s contract buyout requires. But since the good ol US of A is at-will and doesn’t have employment contracts, employers can just let you go without any notice or severance package.

      I got far less than that from my severance package last year, I got the minimum mandatory amount, but I’m not in USA.
