The approximately 1,000 women who worked at Riot Games from November 2014 until the date the settlement is finalized will be entitled to a payment from the multimillion-dollar pot. The final dollar amount that each employee who self-identifies as female receives will vary depending on how long they worked for Riot, with full employees receiving more than contractors.
Asked about the settlement, a Riot spokesperson said in a statement: “We’re pleased to have a proposed settlement to fully resolve the class action lawsuit. The settlement is another important step forward, and demonstrates our commitment to living up to our values and to making Riot an inclusive environment for the industry’s best talent.”
The company has approximately 2,500 employees at offices around the world and brought in an estimated $1.4 billion in revenue in 2018.
The settlement filing also lays out a number of commitments Riot has made to improve its company culture, including beefing up internal programs for reporting sexual harassment and discrimination. They include undertaking a review of all pay, promotion and hiring practices to increase fairness and transparency, hiring a dedicated chief diversity officer, and creating a number of employee groups empowered to track the company’s progress on these fronts.
Phoenix Point is just a day away from launch (that’s Tuesday, December 3rd at 11am PT / 7pm GMT for those detail-oriented types among you). We’re all really excited for you to start playing the game we have been working on passionately for the past three years.Continue here to read the full story.
Here are a few things you need to know:
- Emails containing your Phoenix Point keys for the Epic store were sent on Friday, November 29th from our contact@snapshotgames.com email, and will be sent again, today, Monday, December 2nd, to those who didn’t open their Friday emails. If you can’t find the email with your key, please double check your spam, junk and promotion folders before contacting us. 95% of our emails regarding missing keys are found in these folders; checking there first saves you (and us) time.
- The Epic Store keys we send you are package keys. That means they unlock all of your entitlements including any DLCs or digital items included in your tier with a single key. If you’re one of the people who qualify for a free season pass, your key will unlock that too. No need for multiple key redemptions.
- If you purchased more than one copy of Phoenix Point, each key should be labelled by edition in the email you received.
- If you have purchased the season pass separately, you will need to redeem the game key first, then the season pass key you received when you purchased that.
- Sometimes, you may have to close and restart the Epic Games Store launcher for newly purchased items to appear in your library.
- There are no preloads on the Epic Games Store, so everything you redeem will show as “unavailable” until 11 AM Pacific Time on December 3, 2019.
- The full game is independent of the Backer Build. It will not overwrite the Backer Build in your Epic Games account and does not require any files from it. You can safely uninstall the Backer Build at any time without affecting your full game installation. Eventually, we will remove all Backer Builds from user libraries.
- Purchases made directly via the Epic Games Store are added to your account automatically and do not require a key.
MY HERO ONE’S JUSTICE 2 smashes onto PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Steam and Switch on March 13, 2020 with a revamped story mode, new characters and new features!
MY HERO ONE’S JUSTICE 2’s revamped story mode picks up from the ending of MY HERO ONE’S JUSTICE, starting from the battle between All Might and All For One. From there, players will start the story and play through season 4 of the anime! MY HERO ONE’S JUSTICE 2 also welcomes Sir Nighteye, former sidekick to All Might and current leader of the Nighteye Agency, to the playable character roster! Sir Nighteye’s quirk – Foresight – allows him to see his opponents moves and intentions in the future second by second to anticipate their attacks, making him a formidable opponent to even the strongest of heroes and villains.
Along with new characters, MY HERO ONE’S JUSTICE 2 will also introduce a brand-new feature, Side Kick Plus Ultra! Sidekicks can now execute their PLUS ULTRA attack while in battle, so players must choose their teams carefully to make each attack count.
Set in the same universe of the original movie, “Starship Troopers - Terran Command” drops players right at the heart of a human colony overrun by the Arachnids. They must take the fight into bug territory, where they will lead an army of elite soldiers to defeat the alien menace. They will deploy their units in strategic locations to cover vital choke-points, build defence emplacements, and achieve superior firepower through the tactical use of elevation levels.Continue here to read the full story.
“When creating this game, we aimed to capture the essence of the original movie and its universe. This is not only achieved by creating a coherent set of units and scenarios, but also by mimicking the language, visual elements, dialogues and the little details that made the film such an iconic, cult feature.”, Iain McNeil continues.
The release of the PC version of Vampire: The Masquerade – Coteries of New York will be postponed for a week, which means that the launch will happen on December 11th, 2019, at 6 PM CET / 5 PM GMT / 9 AM PT (that’s the bad part…)
The reason behind the release delay of Coteries of New York is simple – we decided to give ourselves more time to get rid of bugs and further polish the visual side of our game. We’re doing our best to provide you with the highest quality product we can and we believe that this decision brings us closer to achieving this goal (and that, my friends, is the good part!)
Although we understand that you’re waiting impatiently for Coteries of New York for some time, we also humbly ask for your understanding and a little more patience.
With this in mind, I thank you for your amazing support and engagement and please remember that we’re always open to listen to your questions and feedback!
