“Ultimately, after nine years at the company, I just decided that I wanted to get back to making games and go back to building something from the ground up with a big, ambitious vision,” George said. In his last stint, he took a job heading a new Riot Games office in Dublin, Ireland, and spun up that team. He did that from 2012 to 2015, and he was in charge of a development team that grew to more than 450 people. After the launch of League of Legends and it turned out to be a smash hit, he led several teams and became the product lead for the team. He was a designer and gameplay producer at first. He joined the company in 2008, when there were only about 15 people at the company. In an interview with GamesBeat, George said he has been in the industry for 20 years, most recently at Riot Games.
