The Dark World <| sep |> I DO NOW ! D <| sep |> If that was considered cute , Trump would be considered beautiful . <| sep |> It ' s absolutely a creative field . They work for a video game company . Same rules apply for marketingsalesetc for all of these positions . They ' re creating entertainment , they have these clauses in their contracts and it can ' t change due to how IP laws work . Additionally , like I said , there ' s nothing at all saying they can ' t do the other content and earn money just that they can ' t do that on their own through their own channels . There ' s also nothing saying they aren ' t making whatever the industry standard for a salaried caster is there aren ' t enough positions and those positions are so spread out over the world that I ' m not really convinced there is a standard here . You can think it ' s a dick move I agree , I think these clauses are disgusting , which is one of the reasons I didn ' t pursue a creative position after college but that doesn ' t mean they aren ' t standard and that Riot isn ' t in the right for doing it this way . There are legal nuances in place here that they need to protect themselves from . Riot has far more to lose from allowing a caster to monetize content using their resources than these casters are losing from not monetizing their twitch channel .
