In 2020, Riot Games confirmed that it was working on an MMO when Greg Street, the project's executive producer, casually tweeted that he was leading the project. At the same time, many players found that Street is also an unregulated person who likes to post a lot of tweets. For example, Riot's PR department would never say, "The big MMO we develop can't guarantee a release," but Street publicly stated this on Twitter in early April.
In today's series of follow-up posts, Street said his comments were misinterpreted by "some players and the media" as the poor progress of MMO development. In fact, "it's going well. When he says "there's no guarantee" that it will come out, he means that nothing in life can be guaranteed.
"There's no guarantee that any game in this industry will be released," Street tweeted today (April 21), "and anyone who makes that commitment is basically saying that even if the game disappoints, they'll release it." We don't release disappointing games. ”
Street added that his team "won't just make sure the game is as good as possible" and riot will release MMO "absolutely" at some point, even if the game he makes doesn't. He repeatedly said that the game development process was very smooth.
"Maybe I'm not the right leader, or maybe it's not the right team, or our design isn't the right fit," Street says, "but the company will keep going until the game is worth your expectations." ”
