Riot is taking the $ and running

believe it or not they DO need the money. they have really good employees. if you check their application page you will see that you need atleast 2-4 years of experience in the industry and must have high qualifications and skills. they also have around 1000 employees, and in order to attract people they have high pay plus a shit ton of insurance, these are all the benefits a rioter (cringey name i know) gets:

Highly competitive salary Choice between four subsidized HMO and PPO medical insurance plans Subsidized vision insurance plan PPO dental insurance plan Benefits coverage for domestic partners Matching 401k Short term and long term disability insurance Life insurance (free basic life insurance, plus voluntary life insurance) pen PTO (Paid Time Off) Flexible hours Rioter donation matching On-site, full service cafeteria offering fully subsidized meals and coffee bar Office kitchens stocked with free cereal, fresh fruit, snacks, tea, and fresh ground coffee All-company "Taste the Riot" fairs and "Thunderdome" hackathons (infused with adult beverages) Ongoing education and training through Riot U On-site PC Bang and arcade Annual Riot Play Fund Optional daily League of Legends playtests Top-of-the-line computers and peripherals Company events like early movie screenings, board game nights, and office get-togethers (usually around food). Submit your champion ideas directly to the people who make 'em real Subsidized gym membership and massage therapy Riot Games and League of Legends apparel and promotional items

and this is only in LA. you decide whether or not they get too much but again, they are really skilled and are some of the best. and with such a big game, they cant fix everything at once. they are, human, after all. let me know what you think about this and do you think it's bullshit on how much they get or do you think it's fair? lemme know :)

Random Fact- riot made 1.6 billion dollars in 2016. steam was just about bigger at 2.5 billion, however steam consists of multiple games and riot consists of 1, huh?
