Yeah, it seems to be standard contract language in the video game industry that anything you make while employed there, during office hours or at home, is company property. (Which is inconsistently enforced because it’s pretty common practice for people to quit their jobs to work on a hobby project they started while working there.) I’ve always found that to be ridiculous, but this seems significantly more exploitative. The authors are essentially just being paid normal rates for stories - the intellectual property is a freebie.
