Unfortunately, this is widespread even outside the US. When I graduated, learning that these clauses were common at the few companies with hiring power here in Portugal was one of the reasons why I chose to go down the indie route.
If you're in a position to do so, push back against these! We're a creative medium, and our personal work should remain ours. What employees do outside working hours is their own business, and not their employer's.

#Sony will cease production of #discs for new #PlayStation #games by January 2028, shifting to #digitalonly sales. This move reflects the growing consumer preference for digital media and aligns with industry trends, as seen in the decline of #physicalmedia for movies, TV, and music. While this transition may streamline the #gamingindustry and reduce costs, it raises concerns about #gamepreservation and #ownership for some #gamers. https://www.gamefile.news/p/sony-drops-playstation-discs-2028-ps3-vita-stores-closing?eicker.news #tech #media #news

🎮✨ "Prince of Persia" was birthed from a desperate wish to make players feel like Indiana Jones sans the charm, relying heavily on pixelated doom to entertain. The Guardian's exposé on this 'classic' game reveals that #nostalgia is more profitable than actual innovation—who knew? 🙄🕹️

Information Control/Asymmetry - Controlling the attitudes and trends within the market. This is a major one I see all the time. Instead of allowing an environment of diverse views, they will try to control the opinions of the larger group.
This is a MAJOR issue. You cannot express any opinions that do not fall into very specific avenues. There is an army of people recruited that will outright ban or block any opinion not sanctioned.

The things I worry about when it comes to the "Board Game Industry" are the classic market destroying things Capitalists do.
While there is no "regulatory" body for board gaming (so no "rent-seekng" or "regulatory-capture"), the market is still open for manipulation through various techniques.
Monopolization - Not a factor, as long as new game publishers are still viable businesses (see rent-seeking, regulatory-capture)
