"Riot Games Announces Layoffs and Publishing Arm Shutdown in Sustainability Push"

Riot Games is laying off around 530 employees, or 11% of its global workforce, and shutting down its Riot Forge label in a move towards sustainability. CEO Dylan Jadeja stated that the layoffs are necessary due to the company's unsustainable costs and lack of focus, emphasizing that it's not to appease shareholders. The layoffs will primarily impact non-core development areas and the Legends Of Runeterra team, with the company providing support measures for affected employees. Additionally, Riot Forge will be closed following the release of League Of Legends spin-off Bandle Tale.
