英雄联盟和Valorant开发商Riot Games表示，将向少数族裔创立的公司提供1000万美元。
该公司总裁迪伦·贾德加(如图)在Twitter上发帖称，公司将通过投资和创业项目提供这笔资金。除此之外，该公司还向社会正义事业捐赠了100万美元，首先是无罪项目和美国公民自由联盟(ACLU)。
"The murder of yet another unarmed black man has ignited a national outcry for justice, not only for George Floyd, but countless others in the black community who are dying at the hands of a system that they are supposed to be able to trust," Jadeja wrote.
"Like many other companies with the ability and responsibility to accelerate progress, and to make it a reality, we have a part to play and it is on us to do more."

Show of support
Riot is one of many video games companies to voice their support for the #BlackLivesMatter movement and one of a few that has put its money where its mouth is. Further support came in the form of monetary support from Supercell, Electronic Arts, Team17 and Square Enix.
其他捐款反对种族主义的公司包括口袋妖怪公司、House House、Double Fine和Niantic。与此同时，许多公司取消了公告和游戏内容。索尼推迟了PS5发布会，而动视和Epic Games分别推迟了《使命召唤》和《堡垒之夜》的新赛季。
许多人呼吁Riot处理自己游戏中存在的种族主义。一些玩家甚至现在还可以在聊天中使用种族主义的名字和发表仇恨言论。最近，艺电坚称其游戏中的种族主义不会被容忍。
