I figure that if Amazon thought the game could be profitable enough, they could just take everything in it, including the source code (which they have a license to and conveniently access since you were required to use their repository services), change the name (to avoid trademark concerns), deny you access to publish it anywhere (which they can do because you're contractually obligated to use their services and their services alone), and publish it themselves.
Sure, they don't own it. But it comes damn close.
- compiler-guy 5y agoThis ignores the post employment situation. You don’t have those obligations after you leave the company.
- Spoom 5y agoI suppose it doesn't say that the obligations survive termination of employment. But the perpetual license certainly does, and if you have a family etc., you're not likely to quit your main source of income to go all in on your personal game.
