A: In extreme cases, if a member of the Riot Games staff witness’s poor player conduct, they may make a judgment call to issue an immediate suspension or ban. With over a hundred Riot Games employees who play thousands of games a day, you just never know when you could be playing with a Rioter! ... ... ... but if you bitch and QQ enough about a ban, you could get the riot employee fired instead! i don't want to say that psy didn't overreact, and he put riot in an impossible PR situation, but wow it kinda sucks to have it directly say that a riot member can ban you in the rules, and then not follow that at all I'm sure Riot would have backed the employee if it was just a ban, seems like what got him is the photo evidence of using a racial slur. I feel like it was probably too much to fire him, but man, wherever you are, if you're an intern you've gotta watch your ass about PR. | ||

I actually just think he got raped by how quickly the situation got blown up on the internet. The original thread was massive, IGN did an article on it with the screenshots and talked about how it was hypocritical of the company to be working hard on something like the Tribunal System and to have an employee who raged, made a racial slur and banned another player over a game and Psy's facebook got blown up by hate. I think if the reaction outside of Riot had been less severe, Riot's punishment would've been less severe. | ||

i mean again i don't want to justify psy raging but i also don't want to hop on the villify him bandwagon and i don't think psy would say that imo but spacetoaster is right, psy was kind of a "disposable" employee as just an intern/CS guy, and like i said he put them in an impossible situation that i would hate to deal with as a higher-up at riot too. either way, what a fucking dick, that guy who reported him. in other news i just lanewicked and kicked a vlad's ass. lanewick new op? | ||

a fag is a bundle of sticks or cigarette and a cracker is a snacktime food. the rest hold zero meaning. bitch is also a female dog. | ||

I hope people at least learn a lesson from this on how the culture of companies work and how there yes indeed is a double standard when you work for a company on how you should behave. Maybe some people can learn from this terrible mistake that was made and can avoid situations like it in the future. | ||

I think if the reaction outside of Riot had been less severe, Riot's punishment would've been less severe. I agree completely, I remember it sitting at about 5 pages for a while, just barely growing. Once the guy with the "gook" screencap came in is when it really blew up (iirc he was at about page 15). After that it hit 150pages in a blink, with all the articles and stuff. If it was just an employee raging and banning a guy, he'd still be there, he was fired because it became a massive PR disaster that the entire gaming community knew about. I wonder if Riot made the other guy wait out his ban, probably should have, he was as bad or worse than Psy... | ||

BTW Riot is a bunch of hypocrites, i don't see how they didn't fire shurelia after her drama and yet they fired Psy... she's a girl.... AN ASIAN GIRL... AT A VIDEO GAME COMPANY... THINK ABOUT IT. the recording wouldn't prove his innocence, it would merely prove that the other guy was in fact also being an asshole. my guess is that he just wants to put the entire thing behind him and is doing everything in his power to do so. leaving the recording up to prove that Ez goaded him would just sensationalize it and polarize the community further and due to the IGN article, would most likely have not done anything to make him not get fired. IMO it was pretty big of him to take it down since it prevents the community analyzing it and arguing over who's right and who's wrong. | ||

http://ve3d.ign.com/articles/news/58671/Riot-Employee-Leads-By-Example-Following-LoL-Tribunal-Announcement I love how they conveniently left out the few screenshots where Ez was being confrontational (not many of them, but at least there were a few in the LoL thread). | ||
