Three months after an investigative report by Kotaku alleging a culture of discrimination and harassment, one current and one former employee of Riot Games have filed a lawsuit against the company. The lawsuit accuses the League of Legends developer of endemic gender-based discrimination, violation of the California Equal Pay Act and a sexually hostile workplace.

The plaintiffs, Melanie McCracken and Jessica Negron, are asking for compensation in the form of unpaid wages, as well as damages and other penalties. They are also seeking the suit to be classified by the court as a class action. McCracken is currently employed by Riot Games and has worked for the company since 2013. Negron is a former employee of the company.
