Forreal.
Every time this happens, a couple years later: "oh wow look at this new indie studio, they are seriusly punching above their weight"
Looks inside.
Industry veterans.
People you fire, are free to compete. And it's been biting a growing chunk of the market for a while now.
That's why non-compete clauses are popular.
No. The idea is to stop people from acccepting a better deal to go work for a competitor. Non-competes applying when being fired or when your company gets shuttered, would leave the employees literally unable to work in their field no matter how their employment ended.
Even if that were how these contracts worked, good luck to ubisoft enforcing a non-compete for employees that worked for a legal entity that no longer exists.
Non-competes often have a time period after employment, like one year or such.
