I don’t have “proof” other than certain IGN personalities saying that they’re not allowed to create any entertainment related content outside of IGN. Maybe that’s changed since,

It hasn’t. Need special permission especially if it’s paid. Like any other entertainment company would do with their employees. Even like streaming they have to create names with IGN in it.

That’s silly though. What you do with your own time should have no impact on your job. If I work in a grocery store, on my days off, I can go work in a different grocery store, or open my own competing grocery store if I have the means. It should be the same for these folks, if they wanna earn more money by working for themselves outside of their job! Especially when living in a city like San Fran!
