Game devs rejoice as FTC approves ban on non-compete clauses: "There are going to be SO MANY new indie games from AAA devs"

.

Game devs are celebrating the Federal Trade Commission's announcement of a new rule which will ban the majority of non-compete clauses from being enforced in the United States. In theory, it should open doors for developers to move to new companies and potentially work on fresh games far sooner than they might have been able to before.

If you were unfamiliar with the term, generally speaking a non-compete is an agreement which employees can be bound to which stops them from being able to take a new job after they've left a company if it'd see them 'compete' against the company that had them agree to the clause.
