    Lol Alpha tests are rarely for what they should be, which is testing core features of the game not yet finished. In reality, it’s used to excuse negative aspects they have no plans of fixing.

    Fuck em. Talk shit if you feel inclined to. Making you sign a contract otherwise is the peak of insecurities.

      Sometimes Alpha has functions/features not being disclosed to public to keep some sort of advantage over another competitior release, and so an NDA is normal practise. I just had one in march for a software that has been around 40 years, i can’t discuss or disclose any of its features until june. personally I would think telling customers the new stuff coming is a great selling feature, but there is industrial espionage so everytging is hush hush till release day

        An NDA is fine, a clause to restrict “disparaging remarks” is not. If you can’t say anything there’s no need for such a clause.
