- runarberg 5y agoI doubt an average tech worker knows the extent of the non-compete clause in their contract. And I doubt anybody except skilled lawyers know whether the non-compete clause will hold if they are moving to a new startup which is registered in Delaware. It is enough for Activision to threaten to sue, and surely that will deter many enough workers from moving together that they wont be able to move as a team.
