Riot’s head of creative development talks about how to fix sexism at the studio

August 16, 2018 Riot's head of creative development details what needs to change in the wake of a massive report on sexism at the company.

Greg Street, now head of creative development at Riot, has made a public show of support for those reporting sexual harassment at the company, along with details on what he plans to do to change things. Most important of all, he says, is listening to women at Riot. “I am doing a lot of listening to make sure the women on my team and at Riot feel like we hear them, we really understand their point of view, and we understand what they want changed.” Street says his greatest concern is the “chilling effect that can happen if women feel like their ideas are not being heard, or they don’t receive fair pay or opportunities for promotion.” Street, often known by his screen name ‘Ghostcrawler,’ posted this as a response to a question on Tumblr. Until a handful of days ago, he was the lead designer on League of Legends (and worked on WoW at Blizzard prior to that), but his new position will have him overseeing much more of the studio as Riot builds new games.
