Riot Lays off More League of Legends Developers While Promising to Increase Team Size
Riot Lays off More League of Legends Developers While Promising to Increase Team Size - IGN
It's like those black friday sales, gotta change the number before you change it again and then brag about the second change as if the first didn't happen!
The company that is being struck because it tried to sneak around the union contracts by making a shell company to do casting calls below the contact rates? That Riot Games? I'm not shocked.
Shouldn't have banned all those Linux players.
I guess they really want deadlock to succeed
So hire more artists to churn out cosmetics, mtx content while milking existing code that will change less?
To say I could care less about league of legends is an understatement but I am anxious about legends of runeterra's future, it demolishes hearthstone or magic the gathering in its core gameplay mechanics and is genuinely free to play friendly.
Ugggh
I could care less about league of legends is an understatement
Couldn't. Couldn't care less about league.
But the burning fires of my grammatical pet peeve aside its a damned reasonable choice to not care about it. My worry is how other esports companies will react to this. It's still such a tenuous sport even with the crazy viewer numbers the League world championships bring in, and if the biggest name in esports is about to start jettisoning actual production staff from the biggest title in the room... Idk, I can see other companies overreacting.
Oh, it's not just your pet peeve - The Queen really hates it, too!
You understood what I meant, please don't assume I am interested in being corrected for silly grammatical mistakes : ) :) :)
That is a really good point though, and in general I think this is a dark time for video game fans seeing so many devs that made our favorite games be tossed away by the corporations that profited off them.
For one this bodes terribly for growth and innovation in gaming for the next 10 years, why go into the industry if creating one of the most sucessful esports games ever isn't enough for a corporation to decide you are worth employing consistently? The state of things is a joke and a very destructive one at that.
Is LoR still alive? I used to play it for a few years until I just got tired of CCGs in general, but the Arcane season 2 trailer made me all nostalgic again. Back then (before the Reddit exodus) it seemed like the game would be taken down anytime soon.
maybe they just laid off the titchier ones so that the average size of team members did indeed increase.
Ah they want those nice cheap developers
