Size and scope are unclear at the moment, so far I've heard of effects across recruiting & human resources, support and esports. Will do more reporting in the morning for the newsletter.
He was told this by several trusted sources at once. Reportedly, the layoffs will primarily affect staff not directly related to game development.
It is not yet known how many Riot Games employees will be affected, but it is mentioned that this is the first large-scale layoff of employees since the company's founding.
