Initial Reaction
Although most players are happily embracing the streaming platform as that would bring a more personalized experience for fans of the game and the eSports scene, some have shared concerns over Riot's attempt at monetization.
Riot really posturing to take over the entertainment industry huh
Of course, if Riot are to monetize the platform that could potentially mean that less ads would play during the games or the service would be adless altogether.
