Riot Games has announced it will be laying off an unknown number of developers from the League of Legends PC development team, while simultaneously pledging to increase the size of the League of Legends team.
I could care less about league of legends is an understatement
Couldn’t. Couldn’t care less about league.
But the burning fires of my grammatical pet peeve aside its a damned reasonable choice to not care about it. My worry is how other esports companies will react to this. It’s still such a tenuous sport even with the crazy viewer numbers the League world championships bring in, and if the biggest name in esports is about to start jettisoning actual production staff from the biggest title in the room… Idk, I can see other companies overreacting.
You understood what I meant, please don’t assume I am interested in being corrected for silly grammatical mistakes : ) :) :)
That is a really good point though, and in general I think this is a dark time for video game fans seeing so many devs that made our favorite games be tossed away by the corporations that profited off them.
For one this bodes terribly for growth and innovation in gaming for the next 10 years, why go into the industry if creating one of the most sucessful esports games ever isn’t enough for a corporation to decide you are worth employing consistently? The state of things is a joke and a very destructive one at that.

Oh, it’s not just your pet peeve - The Queen really hates it, too!
