Maybe this is a lesson for the future for us all: Don't give away ideas unless you've been hired, or someone has signed an NDA. Otherwise he's kinda right: They stole your idea because you had no legal claim to it. Morally they're dicks but hopefully you've learned from this.
- Macsenour 11y agoI agree, no legal standing on my part. Morally they're both dicks. I did learn my lesson. When I interviewed at another game company, iMagic, they asked for game designs and I told them to buy the cow instead of trying to get milk for free. They didn't hire me, and were later sued by someone else for stealing his copywritten game concept. They're long gone as a company.
- Overtonwindow 11y agoOh wow, dodged a bullet with that one! I work in government relations and have a similar problem. Potential employers want to know how I'm going to solve their government relations, lobbying, or PR issues. I've had ideas stolen many times and it's very frustrating. Sometimes I suspect interviews are treated like fishing expeditions by some employers.
