I never believe excuses like that. They can just as easily write "we own any game ideas you come up with while you work here" instead of "every thought".

There's no reason to ask for what you don't need and never intend to enforce. Unless you intend to selectively enforce it, in which case I'll assume you'll select me to do so one day.

I'm not sure they said every thought specifically, but it included outside of work, and it wasn't limited to games. It was media and web, I think, since they did whatever clients asked them to do, make websites, mobile apps, booths at events, videos, etc.

Considering everything I work on personally was somehow web or media related, it felt very draconian to me at the time. But I still worked there and don't regret my time there overall.
