Riot Games, the publisher behind “League of Legends,' has agreed to pay $100 million to settle a class-action lawsuit alleging pay disparity, gender discrimination and sexual harassment of 1,000 women employees and 1,300 women contract workers.
“League of Legends” is the world's most popular esport, and Riot Games operates its 12 professional international leagues. The publisher said in November the player base for games in the “League of Legends” universe had surpassed 180 million players per month.
New counsel was hired, and just over two years later, Monday's agreement was announced by Riot and the plaintiffs' new lawyers.
