Global Alpha Test Start Date

[Nix]

what about blogs that posted NDA content? sure I see one up till now...SE can do nothing? LoL

NDA content as in the terms of the NDA or alpha test material not released by SE?


Here's a little story from 1.0 alpha-
Some guy thought he was being super-clever by showing a live stream of him playing. He had his alpha account terminated and here's his open-ended Baw-fest

Moral of the story: NDA breakage, not even once.

Lol yeah and then not long after his nailage, I think it was within hours the letter came up lol but I think this one is different from the original because he was asking for his account back at one point D:

alpha test material,picture..ofcourse the UI/name already blurred.... its weird its still up...lol

SE doesn't have eyes everywhere on the internet. Probably they don't know if no one reported it.

Mind you, he does tell something that makes sense, between all the blabbering:

I know how important and regal it is to be one of the only people allowed to test a game before it comes out. The feeling can sometimes be intoxicating and addictive. This leads you to become extremely possessive over the game, and any action that will remove even a tiny bit of that feeling away would cause you to go into an almost offensive mouth foaming rage, metaphorically speaking of course.

That's exactly why people that got into the alpha test are so eager to be confrontational, smug and insulting towards those that dare to be disappointed because they didn't, to the point of calling them whiners, crybabies and worse.

It's truly a despicable attitude, but this very forum shows the evidence that this community is far from free from it.

Normally anyone with any journalistic integrity would not post it to begin with. Most sites I know do honor NDAs even if they didn't sign them personally, but journalistic integrity tends to be a tad thin in this industry, even more so between bloggers.

Integrity aside, posting "leaks" or NDA covered material almost always comes back to bite you in the rear. Even if you don't receive immediate consequences, getting a reputation for having a big mouth and no respect for the rules of common courtesy with developers is a bad thing and normally influences your credibility negatively. It takes more time on the internet for the effects to show, but more often than not, ultimately they do.

its funny I heard from a friend everyone in Alpha has played since the first alpha/beta and were loyal players who most bought CE and are legacy members which make up a majority of the invites >.> and by your logic I don't need proof do I? just going with the word of my friend because you know I don't hear S-E denying that they didn't give loyal members alpha!~
