Riot Games, known for "League of Legends," has undergone significant layoffs, reducing its workforce by about 11%, or 530 employees, as part of a broader restructuring to focus on core projects like "League of Legends," "Valorant," and "Wild Rift."

The layoffs have sparked discussions on the sustainability of the gaming industry's growth model, with Riot's actions reflecting broader industry trends towards consolidation and efficiency.
