https://www.riotgames.com/en/news/riot-games-refutes-dfeh There's a lot of noise going on out here on blind about issues with Riot's culture. Riot isn't perfect but it's one of the better companies I've ever worked for, for sure. Unfortunately I feel like a lot of this opinion is based on pretty biased and one-sided reporting. I'll be happy to turn this thread into an AMA. I'm sure some Riot people will also jump in and tell you that we are the literal worst company too. But yeah... if we are it's not because of it being a bad culture. I noted that we quoted the Kotaku article below, but we all know that Kotaku wouldn't correct the record if it goes against their general narrative/agenda... And they did not post the clarifying release that I linked above. Perhaps evidence that we complied didn't meet their reporting goals? In short, Riot provided the DFEH what they requested and despite that in a very unusual turn the DFEH decided to publish a press release without discussing it with Riot. They've never done this before--dont believe me? Check their other press releases. I'll let other people speculate why, but let's just say that there can be political motivations, right?
I mean, why not just give the government the information then? That seems like it would have solved all this "confusion". Simply comply with the discovery request that the government asked for.
We... Did?
Not sure if they didn't read the article... But yeah. We did.
I love that this is happening! Thank you, OP.
I don’t think it’s politically motivated necessarily. Riots problem is they hired a shit ton of the SJW crowd, and they are hypersensitive and are going to take down the company from within. You do know they’re emailing congressmen daily, crying about injustice? I know because they’ve told me so. Check your slack. I follow a lot of Riot employees on twitter, they all have game union tags and retweet “woke” tweets all the time. Which is fine, if that’s the culture you want to have. Blizzard is sort of turning into that too, and if sucks. Management remarks all the time about how emotional all the new hires are. Some of the interns this year look like they’re going to cry because we ask them to make bushes or paint “boring floor textures.” This culture of entitlement is at a fever pitch. This is not how art is made, this is not how games are made. Look, Blizzard has much, much worse skeletons in our closet than Riot will likely ever have. But we also just have a lot grittier, old school group than Riot. Men with power are going to act the same way they’ve always acted no matter what, just stand up for yourself. Don’t be a victim.
> This is not how art is made, calm the fuck down, andy warhol. brogramming brosephs who unironically drop SJW into conversation are the problem. not the kids 2 years younger than you who keep reminding you that it's not ok to keep posting links to 4chan; you know, the super "woke" ones.
I dunno. Riot seems to be very defensive. It must be at fault here somehow.
It's kinda damned if you do damned if you don't right?
Yea. I use this somewhat tongue in cheek because I see the same logic used around the office.
THIS.
