Early Access and NDA for video live broadcast

[Marleytiva]

Their logic is absolutely retarded they're handling this terribly. We've already purchased the product and by the time Early Access is over I'll be level 50 and raiding skipping all the story quests and the beautiful game and losing viewers over it :/

"I'll complain about SE's logic then complain about losing viewers from my personal stream for knowingly doing something that will lose me viewers."

...lol

Who cares about streaming the game, just enjoy it during early access!
The reasons are many, maybe because the game doesn't "officially" launch until the 27th, and this is squares hope to get people playing the game sooner rather then later, you bought the game remember, the early access is a bonus to those that qualify, it isn't a right, Square could take the EA away if they wanted too, as the game doesn't officially start until 27th.
So if they say "Can you please not post or stream any of our content until 27th" it is within their right.

In conclusion, streamers gonna stream, nom sayin?

Can you please still do it after this:

As we announced previously, video and audio taken during early access may not be posted or streamed.

Users are able to record video during early access (and previously, Beta 4) but may not post the video until launch.

I'm genuinely interested in seeing what happens. Just for laughs. Pretty please?

a little off topic... Will the level cap still be in place for Early Access?

If streaming is so important to you then go ahead but don't come back here crying when they ban you. It's their game, their service and their rules. I find it very silly that people can't wait 3 days anyway. If you agree to the license then you have to abide by it and if you don't agree they don't allow you to play. It's fair enough for them to ban you if you break their terms and would happen with anything. Like I said nobody here is stopping you, however, you have nobody but yourself to blame when you get yourself banned. I also think it's stupid advertising the fact that you're planning to stream regardless of consequence on their official forum. That really made me chuckle!

Open beta/early access is usually a great form of advertising. First couple days of a game's release generates incredible amounts of hype on TwitchTV and can help sales tremendously. I don't understand why SE is doing this. x_x

Its actually pretty smart because tons of people will have never seen gameplay outside of the SE youtube/stream. So they will pick the game up to try it rather then watching it.

This is going to be amazing!!

If the documentation that was linked earlier in the thread is same as what we agree to come the 24th, then there's nothing in it about video/picture/broadcast/stream/streaming mentioned in it.
