The Riot Games executive who was under internal investigation after sharing a controversial image of George Floyd has resigned, according to a company spokesperson. The news came on the evening of June 11, a day after Vice Games originally uncovered the news.

Riot Games emphasized the same sentiment they shared when Vice Games originally published their report, calling the image that Johnson shared "abhorrent" and that it "runs directly counter to our values and our belief that addressing systemic racism requires immediate societal change."

"We’re also striving to change the face of our industry and create opportunities, including by investing $10 million in founders underrepresented in the games industry and helping create a future pipeline of underrepresented talent for the gaming and tech world," a Riot Games spokesperson said.
