Not sure if everyone saw this...

but this may be your one and only chance to see a game development contract before negotiating one.

It also has some basic commentary from several lawyers on how it's a big stiffy for the developer.

Did it go something like this :

We are The Sony this is The Sony's NDA.

While working on said game for The Sony if you even think of telling anyone that you even remotely know about anything you are doing for The Sony:

The Sony will fire you into the sun. Then the Sony will kill anyone who you've ever met, set fire to your grandma, and molest your pet. If in the instance said pet is deceased, The Sony will use the power of The Cell and it's 4-D engine to resurrect said pet. Upon completing aforementioned molesting the Sony will return pet to previous inert state.

Then the Sony will release said project, and the Sony will say it was The Sony's idea all along.
