By CCN: As a fervent gamer and fan of Riot Games’ flagship product, “League of Legends,” I am both ashamed and disgusted to realize I’ve devoted hundreds of hours to a company who prefers to silence employees, rather than deal with issues transparently.

EX-EMPLOYEES SUE ‘LEAGUE OF LEGENDS’ CREATOR

The gaming giant, in case you haven’t heard, is attempting to muzzle four sexual harassment lawsuits through forced arbitration just a few months after taking a public stance against gender discrimination in the workplace.

Melanie McCracken, who is the second plaintiff in a class-action lawsuit again Riot Games divulged the following information, according to Kotaku:

“When McCracken complained to HR about her boss’ response and gender-based discrimination at Riot, HR failed to keep the meeting confidential and leaked the information to her supervisor. McCracken took a new position in 2015 as an office manager in the North America region. Her former supervisor, the complaint said, was promoted in a senior position there in 2016. Then, the complaint says, she was apparently ‘given a five-month countdown to find a new position or be fired.’”

Other first-hand accounts include co-workers sharing unsolicited nudes and threats of wrongful termination due to improperly handled HR reports.

Not even prospective hires are safe from the alleged discriminatory practices in question:

Shouldn’t have taken a scandal for this to happen. Create an environment where female employees aren’t afraid to speak out. I’ve interviewed for your company 3 times. Each time I was belittled and intimated by male managers. The recruiters were always sweet. Fix it.
