Riot Games, the developer of the hugely popular League of Legends online title, hopes that the game is going to be around for decades and continue to remain relevant just like real-life sports.

League of Legends is one of the biggest free-to-play online games out there, generating not just a lot of money for developer Riot Games but also plenty of hype among players for its different eSports competitions.

Riot's Dustin Beck has revealed, via OnGamers, that League of Legends will continue to remain relevant for quite some time.

"It’s a sport like just like anything else. Baseball has been around 110 years. I’m not saying League of Legends will be around that long, but we see the shelf life of LoL as hopefully decades."

League of Legends has just kicked off its latest season of events and will continue to organize global championships, while further improving the game and its characters.
