Early Access and NDA for video live broadcast

Not everyone will have early access. In fact many of people that want to play didn't pre-order at all, so they won't have it. Its not hard to understand. I don't see why you are complaining about NOT being allowed to make videos. Its not hard to understand. I don't care for twitch or game streaming at all. It doesn't bother me. What I am pointing out is how immature people are to have to be "FIRST" to post something about a game so that they can get views before others or maybe more views. That's all this crying is about. They want views that is all they are complaining about. They want to be able to have a large number of views since not many people can play.

Another point: Hearthstone also isn't an MMORPG so they didn't put a strict NDA on it.

The NDA being in place isn't rare. NDAs are in place until official launch. I already said this. Early Access is NOT official launch. Just have to deal with it for a couple days.

I paid for the game. I want to stream it. I don't care if other people never buy the game, I want to stream my copy of my game for my purposes.

If that's what you believe I can't explain it to you, but let's just say streaming something with FFXIV's reputation is NOT going to make me a youtube star.

Then don't use early access as an incentive for purchases.

Your line of reasoning seems to be "I don't see why..." or "I don't care about..." and then you go on to say "it's not hard to understand" - the world doesn't revolve around you.

Fact of the matter is: streaming or making videos at this stage of the game's development will not harm you or anyone else. It's basically free advertisement from the community (community being the keyword). Don't SE (and you) want more people playing this game?

Just because Hearthstone isn't an MMO doesn't mean that it's a game that doesn't go through testing phases, marketing and what not. I was merely citing it as a recent example of the potential that SE has missed out on here. FYI it did have a strict NDA policy which was recently dropped.

Finally, nobody is saying early access is the official launch so you can stop stressing that. Having an NDA this close to release, especially without reason, in this day and age is just a sign of SE being out of touch.

Afaik they have to keep the NDA up cause of their contracts with the Seyuu. Beta forums are down so i can't look that post up...

And i don't really understand why everyone is whining cause of 3 days they can't stream. You don't really gain any advantage neither if you stream during the EA....
