TLDR: Riot is downscaling. The severance package is great but it's another round of layoffs in the industry.

This will also majorly affect Legends of Runeterra. They're putting the game on life support it seems, and will focus on the PvE mode.

They're also shutting down Riot Forge, their collaboration with other studios to make smaller games with their IP.

Care to elaborate? It sounds like you're cheering for folks, who have little to no control over how the company operates, loosing their way of making a living.

To put it another way, the leopards ate their face.

They chose to work for a scummy company, probably because they're greedy too.

I disagree. In a society where people need to work to support themselves working for Riot is not beyond the pale. If we had a UBI, universal jobs program, or a plethora of cooperative enterprises I'd agree.
