When I was at CA I asked if I could participate in a game jam and they were a bit iffy about it but it was in a 'Put it this way, what SEGA doesnt know...' kinda way. So that was my attitude my entire time in studios - tho I do think being secretive did make it harder for me to seek guidance 🫠

A much better way to work on side projects is to do it and not tell your company or post publicly about it. What the capitalists are doing is trying to flex their power to stop any and all competition. You're unlikely to win a direct confrontation, but you can win by ignoring them.
