The long-running gender discrimination lawsuit against Riot Games looks set to continue after the plaintiffs involved hired a new legal counsel and withdrew their motion for a $10 million settlement.
Addressing the latest development, a spokesperson for Riot Games said the studio believed its proposed $10 million settlement was “fair and adequate under the circumstances,” and dismissed rumors that the plaintiffs could be due a $400 million payout as “clickbait.”
We intend to recover the compensation due to the women of Riot Games and achieve institutional reform, in order to level the playing field for women.”
“We understand that the plaintiffs’ new counsel needs adequate time to review the proposed settlement agreement and we respect that,” they commented.
