So.. What's in the NDA?

Sturmhardt · 2012-07-13, 03:37 AM

Okay, now that beta is getting started I am curious what we as the not attending public can expect to hear from the participants who are already in. What are they allowed to publish?

I would really like to see some screenshots or videos although I doubt they will be allowed to put them online. I wonder if they are even allowed to post their experiences with the game so far, but that would definitely be a good read.

So long from Germany

I think it means no pics, video, or comments on bugs and performance.
But I guess they can tell at least if they are having fun...

information will leak

its just to make a new "fake" account to post in

the first rule of the NDA is "No talking about the NDA"

the second rule is "........"

@Sturmhard Noch nie bei ner Beta mitgemacht ? hmm streng genommen gar nix sagen.Schon gar nicht im Internet.

It´s like Canaris said, You can not even Talk about it

Who knows, tech beta hasn't started yet; invites apparently go out sometime later today.

EightEightEight · 2012-07-13, 04:01 AM

If I was in any for of beta (Which I am not saying I am) I couldn't talk about it

That's how the NDA works

Bags · 2012-07-13, 04:02 AM

I was in the Global Agenda alpha and we were allowed to say we were in it.

As Bags?

And, yea, I can only remember Warhammer actually having a "you can't even say you are in beta" note. Unless I keep missing it when I read NDAs, it's not super common.

Aye that's the most common procedure.

If you're ever in doubt about what you can share, then don't. Read the NDA if you get picked and follow it's outlines.
Heh I guess it should also be noted that those in beta might not want other people to know that they are in beta, saves a lot of questions

That's a really good point. Last thing I would want is page after page of PM asking me to break the NDA (if I were to be picked that is)!

Not all beta NDAs forbid telling that you are in the beta, some do though.

Firearms · 2012-07-13, 07:47 AM

No facts, but I'm sure the tight Beta NDA's tend to be for the guys running proper Beta's - Where leaked bugs and faults may kill the game off in the trap. The weak NDA's are for the increasingly more common Demo type Beta's - No bug fixes, probably move a capture point etc.

Just make sire you read it all, not like normal T & C's that most ppl just click and never read.

Then you will know where you stand with what you can and can't say or do.
