Riot Games has released a statement<\/a> in the wake of reports that there will be an employee walkout<\/a> on Monday protesting the company’s response to recent sexual harassment and discrimination complaints. In the statement, Riot acknowledges that the walkout is planned and says that its leadership “understand and respect Rioters who choose to protest.”<\/p>
All this comes in the wake of a bombshell report from Kotaku<\/a>, published in August 2018, which detailed a culture of sexism at the games developer. The report made current and former employees furious and resulted in several lawsuits against the company<\/a>.<\/p>
