NDA's are the means companies use to keep all info
( good or bad ) of an upcoming game under wraps.

This ensures the maximum number of subscribers will
at least try the first month which, at the very least,
will guarantee income from purchasing the game and
the first months subscription fee.

The top goal is to make money off of the endeavor. An
acceptable one, however, is to break even the costs
required to create it.

The net is basically an amplifier for the entertainment
industry. If the product is amazing or terrible, word of
mouth across the net will raise the repercussions of it
exponentially.

Since everyone can find fault with anything, they try to
keep the info released to an absolute minimum.



Oh make no mistake I understand the purpose of an NDA. However, that does not line up with my purpose which is to be informed. Those who are in beta, good on ya!, those who are not *shrug* shall we just sit back and wait like small children? Of course not, we are excited and wish to know as much as possible. If you choose to abide the NDA that is your choice in the mater, just as my choice is to seek out information and wade through the complaints and the hype to the core. Same thing as any other subject material. Some of us share this information between ourselves (not to the beta testers) as a short cut, since we all are vets we can spot good news over complaining/hype.

That's just my take on it.

What makes a man turn neutral? Lust for gold? Power? Or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality?
