I'm making a project for school for my final exam about the economy of modern entertainment. As Valorant has been one of my favorite games to play lately, I wanna know how they have been keeping this up (also seeing LoL as a free game). Could I come in contact with an official RIOT employee about this? It would mean the world to me (and I'd give you credit on my diploma) :)

Edit: I wanna thank everyone for the fun articles and helpful responses! I’m actually more motivated to work on the project again haha :) thanks for all the responses!
