Riot Games, maker of the massively popular "League of Legends," announced Monday it had agreed to pay $100 million to settle a gender discrimination lawsuit.
The lawsuit was originally filed by two now former employees in 2018 who alleged gender discrimination, sexual harassment and misconduct at the US-based company.
Riot is the latest games developer to face a reckoning, with companies grappling with a slew of gender-based discrimination and harassment complaints in recent years.
It will pay $80 million to members of the 2018 class-action suit, including hundreds of current and former California employees, Riot said in a statement, under the agreement reached with state agencies and several private plaintiffs.
