And that mission is an aspiration a thing we know isn’t true yet but could be one day. Our mission is to be the most player-focused game company in the world. The kind of company investors love and players hate.īut when we debate whether to play it safe or try for more, we know it’s not really a question at all. It would be tempting to rest on this win and just coast from here. It’s also still worth noting that Rioters did it all during a pandemic, which added a layer of difficulty to even the smallest accomplishments. So, heading into 2022, I wanted to give my take on our company’s K/D/A and where we go from here.Ģ021 was an incredible year for games overall and especially for Riot: more than 180 million monthly players around the world enjoyed Riot’s games hundreds of millions of players and newcomers alike joined us for the first season of Arcane we held our most-watched Worlds ever ran our first global championships for VALORANT, Wild Rift, and Legends of Runeterra helped players raise nearly $12 million for charity and so so much more. Through it all, the resilience of Rioters and their dedication to players has been the thing that has kept all of us going, kept us pushing for that next win. Those years have had some magnificent wins, a handful of draws, and some painful losses. Get the win, end on a high note, send GGs, and log-off? Or run it back and risk ending the night on a loss? Writing this tonight, I’ve been CEO for a little over four years. One choice familiar to players is when to call it a night.
We can’t always compare real life to a game, but sometimes at Riot when we think about strategy, it’s helpful to use metaphors to break down big, seemingly impossible decisions into manageable, familiar ones. At Riot, we talk a lot about these choices: the micro ones (moment-to-moment clicks, CSing in League, holding an angle in VALORANT, that kind of thing) and the macro ones (drake or baron, comp for TFT, deckbuilding in LoR, etc).

If you take away the art, game design, audio, engineering, and everything else that makes a game a game, being a player comes down to a series of choices, big and small.
