Riot Games has agreed to pay $10 million to its female employees to settle a gender discrimination lawsuit.

Previous records revealed former and current employees accused the League of Legends developer of workplace sexual harassment and gender discrimination. Back in November of 2018, two women who worked at the company sued Riot Games for violating California's Equal Pay Act, with a settlement agreed upon in August.

In the past year, the company has faced employee walkouts to forced in-house arbitration of sexual harassment claims. News of the accusations quickly spread, resulting in the state conducting its own investigation. Reports said Riot did not fully cooperate with the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing's investigation, resulting in more backlash from social media and employees of the company.

The $10 million amount will be distributed to 1,000 self-identifying female employees who worked for Riot between November 2014 until the date the settlement is finalized, with the exact dollar amount varying depending on if a worker was a full-time employee or contractor.

“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," a Riot spokesperson said in a statement.

The November 2018 lawsuit began in wake of female employees at Riot coming forward and speaking on the alleged sexism, bullying and gender discrimination within the company despite its zero-tolerance policy. Video game website Kotaku spoke to 28 former and current employees, all with aligning stories that the League of Legends developer allegedly did not respect its female employees.
