Riot says it will “leave no room for sexism or misogyny” in a promise for sweeping change

Riot Games has issued an official statement following nearly a month of reports of on sexist culture and workplace toxicity at the studio. The company has offered an apology to employees, future hires, and fans alike, as well as detailed breakdown of the steps taken so far to make things right, as well as what’s changing in the future. “For the past three weeks,” Riot says, “we’ve been focused on listening and learning. As a company, we’re used to patching problems ASAP, but this patch will not happen overnight. We will weave this change into our cultural DNA and leave no room for sexism or misogyny. Inclusivity, diversity, respect, and equality are all non-negotiable. While there is much to improve, there is a tremendous amount of good at Riot that will drive this change. This is our top priority until we get it right.” To current and former employees, the company says “We’re sorry. We’re sorry that Riot hasn’t always been—or wasn’t—the place we promised you. And we’re sorry it took so long for us to hear you. In the days, weeks, months, years to come, we’re going to make Riot a place we can all be proud of.”
