A lifelong gamer, Brandon Beck, along with co-founder Marc Merrill, created Riot Games in 2006 with a vision to build a game company that prioritizes the player experience in the way games are developed, delivered, and supported. Headquartered in Santa Monica, Riot continues to uphold this vision by focusing on balanced game design, community engagement, and a supportive approach to games as a service. Through their combined leadership, Brandon and Marc have grown Riot's debut title, League of Legends, into a game that’s played worldwide by more than 27 million players every day and by more than 67 million players each month.
