Riot Games develops and publishes online multiplayer games, with its most famous title being "League of Legends." This game attracts a large player base and offers both competitive and cooperative gaming experiences. Players can download and play the games for free, but they can also make in-game purchases for cosmetic items and enhancements that do not affect gameplay. Riot Games stands out from competitors like Blizzard and Valve by creating engaging gaming experiences that build strong communities. Additionally, the company has a publishing division called Riot Forge, which partners with other developers to create new games within the League of Legends universe. The goal of Riot Games is to provide immersive gaming experiences while expanding its reach through esports events and collaborations.
