Stop Riot Games from Charging for Username Changes


Stop Riot Games from Charging for Username Changes
The Issue
As a dedicated player of Riot Games, I find the recent decision to charge for username changes deeply troubling. This move is not only unfair to players who don't have an income, such as children, but also feels unnecessary considering the company's existing revenue streams.
Riot Games already makes millions from selling skins and bundles in their games. According to SuperData Research, Riot's flagship game "League of Legends" generated $1.75 billion in revenue in 2020 alone - largely from these types of purchases (source: SuperData Research). Now they want to profit off something as simple and personal as our usernames?
This change affects me personally because I believe that creativity should be encouraged and not penalized with excessive fees each time we come up with a new idea for a username. It's not just about me though; many other players share this sentiment.
We urge Riot Games to reconsider this decision and keep username changes free of charge. The gaming community thrives on its ability to express itself freely - let's keep it that way! Sign this petition if you agree that charging for username changes is unnecessary and unfair.
