Arcane may have been a Netflix hit, but Riot spent way more money on it than it got paid for it, or made from it

The budget news is particularly brutal considering Netflix paid Riot around $3 million per episode, and parent company Tencent paid $3 million to air the show in China.

More than that, however, it’s well beyond what everyone else involved has paid Riot for it.

For now, it doesn’t look like Arcane will be followed by any other shows inspired by the world of League of Legends.
