Riot Games Keeps Arbitration Clause After Walkout

Riot Games has announced that it will not be eliminating the arbitration clause for current employees that moved some 200-250 employees to stage a walkout last Monday.

Now, nearly two weeks after the demonstration, Riot Games announced in a blog post that "given the complexities of ongoing litigation, we will not change our employee agreements while in active litigation."

"We know not everyone agrees with this decision, but we also know everyone does want Riot to continue to improve. We remain committed to having a firm answer around extending an opt-out to all Rioters when active litigation concludes," it read.

In a statement to IGN, the walkout's organizers say the policy is "unlikely to change anytime soon. We’re disappointed leadership doesn’t seem to be considering any major changes to their active policy." They go on to say that while they will continue organizing in the coming weeks, "our main goal is to make sure that workers at Riot feel heard and represented, and above all, safe."

7 Ways ‘City of Bane’ Could Change Batman Forever

Batman writer Tom King is gearing up for a major storyline called "City of Bane." Kicking off in July's Batman #75, "City of Bane" sees Bane assume total control of a battle-ravaged Gotham City, even as Batman himself reels from the psychological gauntlet Bane has put him through. It's meant to serve as the culmination of every story thread King has introduced over the past three years since Batman #1.

And as King told us in a recent interview, "City of Bane" will change the Dark Knight in a profound, lasting way. King teased, "This is the biggest story I've ever told and maybe we'll ever tell in terms of affecting how a character that is a part of our conscious exists.”

The Robert Pattinson Movies Batman Fans Need to See

Mainstream movie lovers know Robert Pattinson best as Edward Cullen, the vampire from the Twilight movies, but in the years since he broke the box office he's used his star power to land fascinating roles in edgy, challenging independent films. He's now arguably one of the most interesting actors of his generation, and now that he's reportedly been approved by Warner Bros. to play the new Caped Crusader in Matt Reeves' The Batman trilogy, fans of the superhero should probably take another look at Pattinson's impressive career, and re-evaluate everything they think they knew about "That Twilight Guy."

How to Get 2,150 Apex Legends Coins for 99p

If you buy something through this post, IGN may get a share of the sale. For more, read our Terms of Use.

With the number of players jumping into Apex Legends sky-rocketing, it's only natural demand for new skins and unlockables to increase. It's possible to earn new cosmetics simply by playing, but purchasing Apex Legends coins is a fast-track way to getting extras (although you're not guaranteed to get what you want).

Apex Legends coins are only used to unlock cosmetics, characters and weapons - they do not provide any actual advantage in the game, so it's not 'pay-to-play' via the currency,
