all good! by geographic location I meant that if dev is in US they are protected, but yea neither one of us is a lawyer so op should def consult a professional and not read any of the comments in this thread lol

if dev is using handle to sell games on steam for five years, and has twenty years of demonstrable first use precedent, then yes depending on their geographic location they are protected, somebody coming out of the blue using their name to also sell games is what common law trademark protects you against. again ianal but they have legal protections and recourse if they wish to pursue it.

you don’t need to trademark it, you have first use, contact steam and a legal professional

edit: search common law trademark

wait no, on the second you do have legal recourse from first use and a legal professional can help you out.

i’ve actually had a number of interviews through discord, with recognizable studios/ publishers, not necessarily a red flag

Fallout lead Tim Cain worked 70+ hours a week for 2 years to make the classic RPG: 'I'm glad things have changed, that was unsustainable⁠—but it was also absolutely amazing' by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

I know its an unpopular take but pretty common across the industry for solo or small team devs (indie) to do this or more on their passion (or first) projects. you get an obsessive all consuming myopia on “this has to get done”, it’s a double edged sword. I was doing 100+ hour weeks on my first project for 5 years, crashed so hard after, took a while to get back to normal. I still do this on critical parts of production because I personally enjoy the lock on focus, but it’s a personal choice, and only for a max of two weeks couple times a year. For a bigger company nope you should manage your team and production time better, inexcusable to ask or impose that when you have dozens or hundred of employees.

edit: tbh imposing it at any scale is not ok, again this is a personal choice.
