Rules:

1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

What is the timeframe in the contract? The quotes only show a tiny excerpt of the whole contract.

I don't see anything unreasonable about this if the terms expire when the game releases or the review embargo lifts. Reviewers can't review pre-release copies of games until the embargo lifts.

If the non disparagement clause remains in effect after release, that's very bad. Impossible to tell which it is from the tiny excerpt provided.
