People please stop reblogging that post about that person who got ~fired~ after “working on akali for 9 months” it’s a straight up lie. Check out the real people behind the video, a french studio named Fortiche. Nothing in that post adds up. A lot of fortiche members actually have instagrams with the actual process, it was a contract so riot games had no one to “fire” since it wasn’t an in house job, and even if there was nobody would fire a person who could work ON THEIR OWN on a project like that (which is impossible btw.)
Please think before you reblog shit like that, it discredits every people fighting against exploitation in the video game industry. Just… stop. Inform yourselves.
Wha aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh? Tumblr believing everything without doing any sort of research before spreading misinformation? Naaaah that doesn’t happen.
From what I read on twitter the person in question had worked on the REWORK (her abilities and such specifically?); not the skin design.
Now I still don’t see more on the *why* this person was fired but some people are linking me articles that companies will work people really hard then just fire them. However I still don’t know 100% if that’s the case; it’s radio silent.
After being on the internet for so long I very much like to see facts/proof upfront before I hop on things. Someone said the person who got fired leaked the rework – maybe that is what got them fired. Maybe Riot (…unsurprisingly, again I really do not think highly of them they’re utter garbage…) actually did fire them after working them really hard, for no good reason. Just to use them. But maybe there was more to it? We don’t know.
Firing someone just fucking sucks regardless…
Checked out the thread on Twitter. I find the entire thing highly suspicious. We can’t all have our fingers in everything happening with all of our favorite media but usually, and yes I am very aware this happens everywhere, but Tumblr has a reputation of spreading a lot of loaded lies with the intent to further tarnish someone’s reputation especially if it’s a “hive mind” or “band wagon” situation as is often the case in this hellsite.
I’m in no way defending or playing devil’s advocate for Riot. It’s a shit company from what I’ve read and seen. But if this person did leak information then being fired is a bit of an extreme but it was totally their fault. Companies have been cracking down hard on leaks since it’s been a frequent thing for the last few years.
What I would like to know is where is this person and why did they deactivate?If they hadn’t lied then why deactivate?
