Riot Games gets final approval on gender discrimination settlement

Riot Games announced today that it received final approval from the courts for its settlement in the 2018 gender discrimination case. The games publisher originally announced the $100 million settlement in 2021, pending said final approval. The publisher will pay over 1,500 women who worked with the company between 2014 and 2021.

Under the terms of the settlement, Riot will pay out $80 million to all current and former full-time employees and temporary agency contractors who worked with Riot between November 2014 and the time of the settlement. This comes out to 1,548 women who will receive part of the settlement. The remaining $20 million goes to attorney fees and other expenses.
