Riot Games, the creator of League of Legends, released a statement on Tuesday reacting to a report in Kotaku documenting allegations of sexual harassment and sex discrimination at the multi-billion-dollar company.

When reached for comment by ESPN, Riot corporate communications lead Joe Hixson released a statement, which in part read:

"This article shines a light on areas where we haven't lived up to our own values, which will not stand at Riot. We've taken action against many of the specific instances in the article, and we're committed to digging in, addressing every issue, and fixing the underlying causes. All Rioters must be accountable for creating an environment where everyone has an equal opportunity to be heard, grow their role, advance in the organization, and fulfill their potential."

The Kotaku report cited 28 sources, said to be both current and former Riot Games employees, whose stories ranged from alleged hiring discrimination, unwelcome sexual comments and advancements toward female employees, and a "bro culture" -- a term that Kotaku said was used by many of their sources.

Kotaku also spoke on the record with a number of active Riot employees who disputed the reports of sexual harassment and work discrimination.

"If two Rioters are doing the same job, they're evaluated on a similar criteria," Riot head of platform Oksana Kubushyna, the highest ranked woman in Riot Games' organization chart, told Kotaku regarding the alleged workplace discrimination.

"Talking over women in meetings, promoting/hiring anyone less deserving than anyone else, and crossing the line from assertive to aggressive are three examples of actions that are explicitly opposite to our culture," Riot corporate communications lead Joe Hixson said in a statement on Reddit. "To say that these actions are emblematic of our culture and not an affront to it would be wrong."

"To ensure our aspirational culture becomes a reality and isn't lost in translation, we over-index on cultural reinforcement," the statement continued. "We bake our values into company strategy, leadership attributes, and company-wide programs, systems, and processes. When we encounter any contrary behaviors, we dig in to understand, evaluate, and address. We have a zero tolerance policy on discrimination, harassment, retaliation, bullying, and general toxicity."
