    We basically never talk about this kind of thing, but the Project L 'leaks' going around are very, very fake You too can edit any website with the handy dandy Inspect Element tool

    I see lots of crazy rumors, but this extra fake. Some notes... - The article in the screenshot doesn't even exist. - Tencent doesn't fund our dev like this...that’s not how this works…that’s not how any of this works. - There's a lot cooking in R&D, but nothing like Deadlock.

    Seeing some questions about hie the @riotgames / @XboxGamePass partnership. You’ll still be able to unlock Champions/Little Legends/Cards/Agents in the normal ways while playing with an account linked to Game Pass. Everything earned from gameplay will then stay unlocked…

    Seeing some buzz about a global release for the physical card game recently teased by our China team. While we’re excited about this project, there aren’t any plans for a worldwide release at this time. Always possible things could change, but nothing planned right now.

    It might be old school, but no feeling in PR beats seeing a story in a real newspaper.

    And like our partnership with Amazon Prime, this will work by linking your existing Riot account to a Game Pass account. More details coming in the next few months with the partnership coming fully online in winter.

    No one is talking about it because it isn't true. We've been hiring more in Southeast Asia because Singapore is both a development studio and a publishing hub. And it's a bigger publishing hub now that we're publishing League/TFT ourselves vs going through Garena.

    …later if you let your subscription lapse. That’s part of the reason for the bonus experience that also comes with a linked account. I’ve seen people comparing it to the Riot Unlocked model that’s used in PC Bangs and that’s very close to what we’re doing here.

    For anyone who saw the Reddit thread tonight about how we do—and don’t—use AI in Player Support, I wanted to post my response here too (in the jankiest format ever)

    We're planning to make an update on data retention closer to the time the tech actually starts rolling out--stay tuned

    The Riot media inbox is one of the few public Riot email addresses, so we get all sorts of stuff there. But for all the...colorful...feedback, checking it is one of the best parts of my job because of feedback like this. Dropping a 4⃣ here for this awesome player.

    The Rosen firm files a shareholder class action basically every week (or more). When I was in the Investor Relations world suits form them were pretty widely ridiculed. Not saying this might not get them a payout, but they're the ambulance chasers of corporate law.
