Riot Walkout

>forced arbitration
A what?

Alright then fuckers, whats the biggest thing currently happening in gaming thats not Tim Sweeney making a twitter post, or a game company banning you for saying "Nigger"?

They're being forced to the table to negotiate.

just because it's big news to you doesn't mean it's big news in the gaming industry, riot has made one game and it is a rip-off of another game, they are hardly a pillar of the industry

grow the fuck up

>Giving Kotaku ad revenue

They've made 5 gives you idiot.
That's why they are called "Riot GAMES" and not "Riot GAME" or "Riot's GAME"

>organize a walkout
>nobody quits
So you just all left a few hours early. Great. That was pointless. The suits wont guve a damn unless you do somwthing real. Losing a good chunk of their workforce at once is one of the few things that will do that. An early clock-out is not.

those are minigames you completely fucking deluded moron
listen, you are defending a company owned by tencent so, honestly, you can can go fuck yourself

I'm not defending a company. I'm showing you your own stupidity.

Do you think Riot would hire me? I only said nigger 3 times in a game.

Based and redpilled.

Riot are absolutely fucking right to do this. I'd rather have unions and games take twice as long to make desu, who cares about supply and demand when it's the workers who are being put down?

Let this be an example not just to gaming unions here in the West, but around the world.

Nice.

>They should be grateful they're getting paid at all.

Let me stop you there.

Walkouts are a thing you do when the threat of being fired is outweighed by the importance of correcting what you’re walking out on. Planning for this walkout started long before Riot announced they would not retaliate; they were risking their jobs.

Pretending that this sort of toxic culture isn’t contagious to the rest of society when it exists at billion dollar companies, and telling the people fighting it to just look the other way is at best counter-productive, if I’m being nice.

If managers don’t like the job without getting to harass their employees, they can just leave...

Fuck yes. Its gaming related and a big news instead of some communitty manager or diversity bullshit throwing a tantrum over a fart joke again

For real, it would also come with the benefit that I could now start to pare down my backlog. EVERYONE WINS

The walkout is protesting not enough niggers and thots in the office. Fucking dropped.

Not sure how I feel about this. How did we start punishing and firing based on accusations alone?

Has this manager been investigated and found to have done the things he was accused of? If so, that’s unacceptable. But if not, that seems to be jumping the gun.

I’m in complete agreement with those doing the walkout. Things at Riot seem to be out of hand, and forced arbitration should be entirely illegal but since it isn’t, companies that actually care about their employees should never require it. But we do need to give people due process. If anyone has more information on this part, let me know.

No, it was about managers harassing their employees and them walking out in solidarity of ridding a toxic environment.

Try reading for once.

>not using adblock

>wired.com/story/google-walkout-organizers-say-theyre-facing-retaliation/

If this is anything like the Google Walkout, I expect retaliation on the employees who participate in this in the near future. I bet Kotaku will be covering that as well!

Unionization is the only feasible solution. Employees walking out gives the company an excuse to fire them as not working. (Even if Riot allows managers to make this event an excused absence, retaliation will likely happen anyway.)

everyone uses it so if something gets enough likes, it must be true
extra points for being from verified users

Is there actually a point to walking out if the company’s leadership says they support people walking out and won’t do anything to hinder them or retaliate? Doesn’t that completely defeat the purpose?

"current and former employees reported a culture of widespread and endemic sexism at the company, manifesting in Riot’s hiring practices"

They never have enough. That's why pandering to them is retarded.

If multiple people come forward, then why should we dismiss them?

Then why don't they just make one? You only need a majority

Unionization is inevitable at this point.

Employees walking out gives the company an excuse to fire them as not working. This is just civil disobedience on workers' end, you better look out as to what's next.

The walkout was set up before such a guarantee was made. Walking out is where a worker risks one’s job and livelihood to protest for better policy, pay, benefits, or so on.

When Riot decided to support the measure, they benefit because allowing its workers to protest looks good. It doesn’t address the reason for protesting.

Your version of events misconstrues the order of events.

Most of them are just contractors anyway so the company will fire them without even blinking and they have every right to do so

See

Its a bigger news and has more to do with vidya than some trannies crying over fart jokes and they not being able to stand up to their bosses again lmao

And they will be met with unions as a result.

Are you aware of karma as a concept? Or are you just plain stupid?

>unironically linking to kotaku

jesus fuck this board has gone down the drain

As someone who used to work in vidya I am proud and impressed by the bravery of these employees. They have my unconditional support. Rock on and walk on, you awesome trailblazers. May you be successful and may other companies learn from your example.

Formations of unions will be the endgame of this. No need to do it individually.

Having multiple voices heard at once is what will be the first step towards the rights of workers.

My point is correct, yes...do you even know who you're replying to, you hormone-addled tranny?

It means that if an employee has a dispute with Riot arising out of their employment contract, it would have to be settled outside of court a mediation directed by an arbitration company selected by Riot. If the employee were to file suit, Riot could move to have the court dismiss the case and compel arbitration according to the employment contract.

Thing is though, what do the majority of these "devs" do? Riot only has one game that just pumps out skins and the occasional character with balance changes. It doesn't need this many people.

yeah their inhuman champ are ok/cool

but fuck they cant design human female. they've gone the whole spectrum from teen wet dream to tumblrfaggotry and yet none looks interesting except poppy

I think at the end of the day Riot is just a shitty place to work and rather than trying to change it you should work for a company that doesn't treat you like trash. It's the video game industry and everyone is treated like trash so good luck with that...there's some fag who has been coding since he was 4 begging to work for $40k a year because they like gaymen.

And you should give a fuck about them because one is a potential spark towards the inevitability of gaming unions whereas the other publication is the most prominent source of video game journalism.

No one cares about your niche blogs like OneAngryIncel or YouTube channels like QuarterPounder here.

every last one of these motherfuckers is making over $75k a year and bitching about "burnout"

fucking pisses me off, I'd kill for even a $50k/yr job

Who gives a shit? Riot can't innovate anymore. Their esports division loses money. Their company is too dysfunctional to attract quality new employees. If Tencent kills off the esports division by drying up funding, League just becomes yet another MOBA.

That's corporate tyranny for you. It deserves to be abolished once and for all.

Stop dismissing legitimate accusations of employees who underwent contractual agreements only to have them violated at the expense of managers who could care less other than live like Jeff Bezos.

Longer waits for games to be developed for one, and perhaps quality improves under that. Everyone wins.

Unions wouldn't work with programming in general because of the vast disparity in skills between good and bad programmers. If you can't maximize output from good employees and fire bad employees it would take $2 billion to develop a AAA game....

What's stupid as hell is the whole reason for the walkout, which is based on allegations with no proof that consist of things like someone farting on someone else's face and allegedly someone whipping their dick out. Not even any actual harassment, just snowflakes being easily offended or making shit up, though given the amount of allegations happening without a single shred of proof and all based on shit happening years ago, I'm leaning towards it being made up as fucking always.

Except this is "current year", they are not risking shit. Even if they get fired, they'll easily get employed solely because of fame and new social connections they get from all the browniepoints they make for pulling up dumb stunts like this.

Why the fuck do you think we keep seeing allegations with zero evidence? There is benefit but people don't want to admit it and keep on pretending that fame, contacts and name recognition are the biggest factors in getting a job in most places. Sorry, if you have so many "Victims" waiting years WHILE working at the same place, I'm gonna call bullshit. You gonna tell me there was that much shit going on at the company and all the diversity hirees DIDN'T form their own little closed social groups and didn't share bad experiences which each other and everyone just went on clueless for fucking years? Fuck that, these kind of asshats are what I despies the most, regardless if they're victims or not. Either they lie which makes them scum, or they didn't and still kept that shit hidden and let others suffer for their own selfish ass needs.

the number of times I've pushed back on a retarded project (LETS MOVE EVERYTHING TO THE CLOUD INCLUDING THE DEVS WHO REQUIRE GPUS IN THEIR WORKSTATIONS LOL) and gotten reprimanded by management can be counted in the high 10s instead of on one hand

it always ends with me going to senior management and having my managers put in their place along with a written note from me to HR telling them no, I will not come in on Saturday, I am not a salaried employee.

I haven't been fired because they've already outsourced to an MSP in the past and they do an abysmal job because MSPs that are worth a shit cost exponentially more than me and the 2 guys I work with. I've been here for 8 months and as soon as I find something that pays signigicantly more I'm fucking out. I don't want to look like a job-hopper on my resume, that's the only reason I haven't gone to work at McDonald's.

I get the unionization thing and why people want to do it, but at the end of the day it's just shitty management and you have to MOVE COMPANIES so that the COMPANY FAILS.

I'm not a bootlicker, I'm just younger and know how the game works. 2 years of IT work as a consultant isn't going to get me anywhere- I'm building my own SaaS product on the side while I work for these retarded fuckers and as soon as I find something better I'm gone.

Holy shit, I feel sorry for you and your fellow workers. The worst thing that happened to me is that they told us to update the computers to one of the various Linux systems because they heard "linux is better" without considering how most of the non-IT people in the company are Windows only users. Needless to say we tried our best to ween people onto the new system but it was utter chaos for a while because they had no idea how to use it. Worst part? Management blamed us for using a "faulty version of linux"

why would their chinese owners allow that, also how is Riot allowed to invest into ANOTHER company, i.e Hypixels Hytale, doesn't their owners get a say in what happens here.

Based riot rioting

I hop on once every other week for an ARAM or two, but for the most part Im over the game. How I put up with it for 3 years is still a mystery.

>Based

It's just how it is, nothing "based" there. The amount of people in denial regarding all of that, though, is astonishing.

It's strange, there was a time where unions were 100% in the right but kept demanding more and more from the companies until it becomes the company bends over backwards to the unions.

management is fucking retarded in general.

Had a few problems with it myself that made me and many of my coworkers stay overnight to finish stuff.

I was also fired not too long ago but at least i already got a better job.

If LOL and riot evaporate tomorrow nothing of value will change in a gaming community.

It’s literally a milking platform for toxic retards, no one cares.

wtf, are you me?

The fact that people somehow assume unions are immune to corruption, politics, and bad management is genuinely insane. There's no way any of these people have worked anywhere unionized. Maybe if they were pressured they'd just say that real unions have never been tried.

Global neoliberalism is a step in the dialectical process. Unions are literally outdated

Anyone else /scabforlife/? I love seeing union cucks seethe. Have fun paying a toll just so you can be a wagie

This also needs to happen with companies who hire creatives to design products for them. Game designers, graphic designers, etc. As a graphic designer I’ve gone thru my fair share of “corporate restructuring” and it can be extremely hard between gigs, especially for those with families. I’ve worked for a company in the past who made some real bad business decisions and went into litigation with another company because of this bad business and guess what happened. Tons of my coworkers were being let go every other week, sometimes every other day. It was like a massacre. We all felt like we were walking to our eventual demise because it was inevitable that we were gonna be let go. Some luckily found new gigs before they were toss out but for the rest of us we had to go thru the unemployment rounds till a new job cropped up. Shit is hard. I’d have unions any day.

>it will probably take more than just Riot to trigger what we're all looking for in the end.

This is why I'm ironically supporting this shit, the more the industry starts going this way, the more standards will drop and we can finally see something new emerge.

Preferably like the early 90s all over again.

Capitalism is fucking great when small teams of incredibly talented people put their heart and soul into something BECAUSE THEY WANT TO.

Think about the original iD software team - we need more of that and less management in general. Less marketing. less "social". Less "influencers".

Employers were talking about that for a while. That's the whole point of the propaganda about "muh opportunities" and "connections", that starts, pretty much, from internship.

Employer unironically thinks that he is entitled to senior dev in the position of junior and payment of an intern. Employer unironically considers that the "feeling of working for my awesome company" is enough of the reward for employee.

Dude. This is worse than fucking communism, and I fucking come from soviet family.

Gigantic deserved to get big more than any of the other shit on the MOBA market.

Except it worked on normal PC too and the only reason they developed it for Win 10 first was because they had no money left and workers were working for free day and night just to try and complete the game.

If anything, blame Microsoft for making a retarded decision.

I worked at Riot for about 4 years.

From the day I started in late 2012 to the day I let they were already cum guzzling faggots tripping over themselves to tell mentally ill trannies they were brave and beautiful.

They spent literally all fucking day playing video games and pontificating on social justice issues. The internal Gmail thread on gamergate made me want to hang myself from the rafters it was so laden with cringe inducing bile. Besides complaining absolutely nothing got done. May 100 people work on new content for League and everyone else eats free food, plays vidya, and goes to a nonsense meeting for 2 hours.

I got out and moved from Cali entirely but I can only fucking IMAGINE the 4 inch level dilation that is the SMELL of Riot Games at this point if this is happening.

>any actual union worker, AFL/CIO, Teamster, or even the communists of old would've beaten these fags and expelled them from their ranks
Well duh.

what makes you think its not

it started off as just dota remix but it changed pretty wildly, only the big component pieces are still similar across games now like the fact that both games still have laning phases, all the specifics are wildly different

at its peak dota was a vastly better game than league will ever be, but league also isn't trying to be a good game, riot actively wants the game to be easy for retards to play and dota has taken some serious pages out of that handbook since its old prime

Are all game devs as insufferable as you are? Because if so then it doesn't surprise me that higher ups try to abuse and take advantage of you. In fact, I'm glad they do it.

the game was still enjoyable even though giving 1.4k gold to the enemy felt like getting drilled in the ass
>sniper troll meta
any dota player learned to deal with shitty fucking metas. remember (I think) 6.72 when precision aura and marksmanship were reworked and stampede was introduced?
it wasn't just the shitty occasional changes, but the shifts in the very core aspects of the game that fucked everything, and I'll agree that messing with bounty gold marked the first step, but I don't think it was when everything went through slippery slope

The high number of employees is scattered across all regions of the servers,localization team etc.
The only people giving a shit about this are the NA employees.
Riot won't suffer much,their main servers are the european ones and the american ones are just their little test servers before they hit it live.

This wont affect them at all

Riot is shit at programming so they can let these whiny fucks strike forever and hire 10k pajeets and chinks, won't notice much difference.

I think its funny that dota still keeps those same shitty limitations because the playerbase is convinced valve that it should be a feature to separate the PRO's from the NEWBS.

uphill miss chance is fucking cancer.
turnspeeds should be like half of what they are now. I understand how they balance melee vs ranged but holy shit its off putting as fuck if you are new to the game. Honestly feels like forced input lag. I still hate that so many people all have to argue and share 1 courier

Dota to me is way more fun to watch than it is to play. HoN nailed the gameplay better but it shot itself in the foot and died before the race even began

how do i get my friends to stop playing this stupid fucking video game

Furthermore, bounty gold fuckery pretty much market the point in Dota 2's history where balance moved from Icefrog's old style to basing decisions on the complete data of all Dota 2 games ever played.
Ever since then we've been getting updates that instead are "here's a ton of minor tweeks to hero stats, here's a new formula for exp and gold thatshould work better, here's some shit for calculating bounties based on individual heroes and team's networth that is completely obscure"

Introducing the entire talent system was pretty much so they would have more knobs to tune balance without really changing anything and the game became worse for it, imo.

all the people doing this stupid walkout have shit """""jobs""""" like """writer""" or """community manager""" the fucking janitorial staff at riot or any development studio does more work than these fucks

>Employees come back

the only companies and individuals that produce anything of note or quality are ones that let their work speak for themselves

the only reason these people even have jobs in the first place is because they use capitalism to prey on literal children- in a communist or socialist society they would be the first against the wall for being bourgeoisie trash

its just going to make you sad
i reinstalled it to play a few games with them and even though we won it just wasnt fun at all

I stopped playing sometime in 2012 so I'm sure I'll hate every second of it thanks

Surely you did socialize with eachother about everyday topics or joke around instead of taking things seriously right?
Don't friends play games in general like this together? To joke around and talk while playing?

Motherfucker the people I work with are so angry one of them had a fucking stroke yelling at a guy and died. He got so mad he fucking died. I couldn't give two shits about how they cut your breaks twelve minutes short one time

once california makes a singel good game i might start caring.
as it stands now it is the birthplace of evrything that is degenerate about video games.

of course
its just i would have rather talked over literally anything else, especially since they just get mad at the game yet still play it daily

he sounds based and redpilled

I only play League because of a very small pool of champs that I adore.
If they fuck up the Skarner rework that’s the end of my time in LoL.

How come NRS employees didn't do this? Cause from what I read, their situation is way worse then this. Maybe that would've helped MK11 not having the shitty economy, fuck you WB

Fuck off I found it first

In case any of you care, that Annie statue is FULLY modeled under the dress.

>Calling Pyke kino

looks cool
absolute cunt to play against, perfect representation of the direction this game went

Was it them or Blizzard that were talking about making a fighting game with the Rising Thunder guys? I don't play any MOBAs or anything else Blizzard has on offer, so I don't pay much attention to either company, but whatever happened to that whole thing?

nobody wants to watch plat.

just to even begin to garner a audience you need to be extremely good like Challenger tier. secondly you need to play something people want to watch or deem interesting or you just have to be so damn mechanically good people will watch you play anything.

It was riot who bought out RT, but they dropped anything they were working on and are now just sitting on the IP

Yeah a tranny being called wrong pronouns is grounds for harassment in the US.

Aren't these the same people who play League most of the day instead of actually working on their game? Man, life sure must be rough for them.

Haven't played since Rumble was new, red pill me on him.

As someone who plays league still, if they're asking for better pay, why not make better shit then? The balance team is full of literal silver players that refuse to balance the game. They keep giving the same champions skins over and over again, they keep deleting items instead of making more.. it's just such a different game than it used to be.

I hope every faggot there is fired

all of these mentally ill trannies need to fucking have sex so they aren't so fucking bitchy at work

HAVE SEX YOU FUCKING RIOT INCELS

Riot is filled with incompetents, at least google has some usefull guys.

>supposed to be a "support" character
What the fuck?

Oh wow, LoL still exists? Thought the game died back in 2016.

This game is so full of stupid unhelpful teammates that act like down syndrome children. People that play for long periods become autistic zombies. It doesn't help that talking shit isn't allowed because you'll just get permabanned.

The United States was built on the principle of an open and competitive marketplace.

The video game market is open and competitive.

If these dumbass employees don't like to work there, then they can quit and start their own company or relocate and work for another company. That's how it works.

Assuming this option wasn't available, then that goes against American capitalism. This is why our government has in place anti-trust laws.

But nope, they want to kill the rich and replace our system with something that has failed everywhere else over a hundred times.

>get a ping on my slack literal seconds later

Neat

An employee farted on someone. Okay. How the fuck do you prove this? This goes back to the "rape epidemic" which doesn't exist and nearly impossible to prove. You can't prove that a certain employee farted or acted inappropriately. The only way to do this is if you have other witnesses, then you can fire that employee. But in this instance the employee was alone, and farted and "harassed" the other employee when no one was around.

Unfortunately there's nothing Riot can do about that. Next time, try and not be alone with that person. Put yourself in Riot's shoes. Should they believe some whiney employee? What if she's full of shit? That could result in some serious repercussions. So, yeah, putting that guy on leave was a professional move.

Stopped reading there. Go fap to some more Cold War novels.

They aren't skilled enough to do either of those things.

You can argue that anti-trust laws are really fucking weak in this country, I would, these faggots aren't though. They're bitching about sexist jokes and working on weekends in air-conditioned offices while being fed high-tier food in the most beautiful states in the union for a company that's basically a front for the PRC.

If you can't hack it at a company that literally can't fail due to constant capital injections from uber-wealthy chinks and a steady stream of money from addicted teenagers then where are you supposed to go? League hasn't changed for fucking years, the core codebase is decrepit and probably hasn't been refactored in a meaningful way since the game came out.

This.
Well said, lad.

The fact that I'm playing a video game, faggot
