YOU CRITICIZE SOCIETY YET YOU PARTICAPTE.jpeg

As a currently unemployed game dev I would like to say to you F off.

Why does anyone work a job they don't like? Because they have to to pay rent and eat

Wait.

Well no they made a settlement, which is closer to.

Man I want to be happy for the women affected by this but at the same time Riot isn’t going to change.

“This shows that Riot is serious about changing the culture at the company...”

They not even getting paid for the harassment. They getting money for what the lawyers THINK they should get because of the pay gap at Riot. The women still there are probably still getting peanuts compared to the men.

It’s a quick little blanket.

Riot was valued at $366 million in 2011. It’s earned roughly $20 billion ever since being bought by the Chinese. (Forbes)

Holy shit, that’s like $5 million per female employee!

Grats ladies for winning...*does quick maths*...a fraction of the money a team would make for winning world champion.

Thank you for continuing to report on this crap. It grosses me out that I continue to see Riot pushed in other media as the “cool game studio.” I threw up in my mouth when I saw their involvement in HBO’s Ballers show... but I guess it was also kind appropriate to see them associated with a show about rich, womanizing…

For a second I thought this said “Will pay every female employee $10 million” and was about to be super excited for a few of my friends. Nonetheless this is super cool! I just hope this is an actual act of good faith/change, and not a quick lil’ blanket they put over it so we move on.

This is a great step forward but until they fire a few higher ups it’s still a lot of talk..

Congratulations goes to the women at Riot, who were denied their equality for such a long time. This is a good precedent hopefully for the entire industry to treat their employees like actual people.

Don’t forget that you can also make the boy trip in a puddle, lock him in a garage, chase him into a phone booth, and make him buy back his own toy. Maybe it’s because I know I’m not causing a real person any harm, but I find a lot of sadistic joy in tormenting that kid. Everyone else gets annoyed at you, but he gets…

My fave part is reassuring us that Geese aren't aggressive, and literally the next paragraph give hilarious detail of how and why they'd bully children.

I’m sorry, did an expert in the field just come out and say that geese typically do not carry on them a list of horrible pranks that they dutifully perform throughout the day. Is she “Not All Geese”ing us on a game where you intentionally rip the glasses off a dweeby kid’s face and bring back the wrong pair?
