Would a noncompete stop you from starting your own company and making a game?

Legally it possibly could, but it's also a deterrent for people who might would have otherwise but were so afraid of potential legal costs/ramifications to even approach investigating whether they legally could or couldn't.

That's what I also figured. Plus thinking about this now, it would also mean your friends or colleagues in the industry couldn't join you either.
