Podcasting about beta content?

Post » Thu Jan 09, 2014 9:44 am

Hi there guys,

Brand new beta testers here, and looking forward to it. We run a small gaming podcast and just wanted to clarify the current stance on discussing the beta content and even filming it.

From what I understand, sharing any video or screenshots from the beta is not OK, and could lead to our account getting banned.

I've seen a few podcasts talking about the game, though - is this acceptable? Or can we not talk about stuff under NDA just via audio?

Thanks, and looking forward to diving in!

The NDA that you agreed to is VERY clear. You cannot share anything from the beta. Technically, you can't even say you are in the beta, but they relaxed that one point only.

Yes, you would be banned.

Sorry mate - should have been clearer, was talking about audio stuff only. Though I imagine it's a similar answer...

You signed the NDA: you must share nothing about the beta, nothing.

It's still the same. You're talking about beta stuff, stuff you've experienced. It's still prohibited by the NDA.

Thank you guys (a very quick answer) - we didn't quite understand bits of the NDA so thought we would ask just to be sure! Looking forward to open beta.

If you are in the gaming press, then you should understand that an NDA means just that, Non Disclosure and you agreed to it by requesting a Beta Key.
