2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Would be cool to fight for a part in the contract about microsoft losing ip and trademark(assuming they try to be extra sneaky) rights or have them become public domain if the studio is shut down or the team is broken up too fast

Corpo drones will never allow such things. Disney in particular will fight back like a rabid mouse.

Well I guess they don't want the studio or the talent bad enough, maybe I'm biased but for me it's been so rare for big studios to put out stuff that's actually really fun and innovative so I'd say they need those small studios and I'd love so much to see them be properly valued by big companies
