If you do not abide by the requirements of this section, we shall own all right, title, and interest in any works incorporating the Game IP which are created, adapted, distributed, or transmitted, or, in the alternative, have an unlimited and irrevocable license thereto.
A particularly important piece of this basically boils down to;
"You can't make videos based on Subnautica 2 without our permission, and if you do, we own the content."
