League of Legends developer Riot Games' long-running gender discrimination lawsuit has entered a new phase, as a fresh legal counsel has rejected the developer's preliminary offer of a $10m settlement.
Last December, Riot's proposed $10m sum was agreed to by plaintiffs in the class action case. But intervention from Californian state agencies in January left Riot having to deny allegations it colluded with the plaintiffs' legal team to settle for a lower amount.
Now, a fresh legal team has been brought in, GamesIndustry.biz has reported, following the state's claim the lawsuit could be worth some $400m - not $10m - (a figure Riot told GI.biz was "clickbait").
