This is over 150 employees at Riot Games doing a walkout to protest forced Arbitrations. This is the first walkout to ever occur in the video game industry.
Forced arbitration shouldn't exist period. It's a 100% pro-business policy of which its only function is to shield businesses from lawsuits arising from their own illegal activity.

Not the first. Crytek employees had a walkout in 2014. Eugen had an employee strike last year.
