People please stop reblogging that post about that person who got ~fired~ after “working on akali for 9 months” it’s a straight up lie. Check out the real people behind the video, a french studio named Fortiche. Nothing in that post adds up. A lot of fortiche members actually have instagrams with the actual process, it was a contract so riot games had no one to “fire” since it wasn’t an in house job, and even if there was nobody would fire a person who could work ON THEIR OWN on a project like that (which is impossible btw.)

Please think before you reblog shit like that, it discredits every people fighting against exploitation in the video game industry. Just… stop. Inform yourselves.

So here are some precisions: some people said that the post was not about the video but rather about the rework. First of all, the mere fact that the original text is so vague is fishy in itself. Second, no one works on a character on their own. Coding, designing, animating… those things are made by TEAMS especially in big companies like riot.

Third: you can find the list of the people who designed akali’s rework and everyone is still working at riot. The closest thing I could find about this was some rumors that one of the designers left and it was for another company so the point remains the same. You need to make some research before endorsing a complete stranger who desactivated their account. Riot games has already enough problems that you can rant and talk about.
