Tiivistelmä
This study evaluated five early cases in which esport developer Riot
Games made rulings regarding activities and infractions by members of
various institutions related to its product, League of Legends. The
findings of this study support future theoretical exploration of other
esports in seeking a fuller understanding of issues related to consent,
power differentials, and roles and behaviors expected of the
institutional activities of players and teams in competition. Increased
investigation of these—and other—issues from an ethical standpoint could
lead to a framework that not only would facilitate future study but
also bring opportunities for improvements in practices in concert with
necessary policy changes.
