Early Access and NDA for video live broadcast

[Eldarion18]

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?

All I have to say is "Why?"

Seriously

[Kona4me]

Can't understand why... but w/e its only 3 days but we need an exact time for when we are allowed to stream? worldwide time.

Why do they not want us showing off their amazing game? Especially this close to launch?

It's quite strange that there is still an NDA on a product we have purchased. In fact, I believe that is illegal in most countries, including the US and Canada if memory serves me right.

They're legal: http://jobsearchtech.about.com/od/la...sclosure_2.htm
Gives pretty accurate info, even if it refers more to employee NDAs. Some states it might be different, but yeah. Issue is, that its not in the User Agreement or anything like that currently. I mean, they do have the right to discipline accounts for any reason regardless and refuse service (to an extent), but they could essentially say no video and streaming at all, and while they might not be able to take legal action, they would be within their rights to take account actions. Its one of those loopholes really. Its technically not a legally (as in court) enforceable one, but its not illegal for them to enforce it either

Its odd as hell, but eh, sounds like there were some contractual things involved?

The official launch isn't until the 27th. I'm sure everyone can deal with a few more days of not streaming. Best not to get your account in trouble.

There could be many reasons involved. Early access will probably be extremely bumpy and they might not want that stuff streamed to the world if it takes people half a day to get into the game. They could still have contractual obligations with voice actors and other companies. Who knows. It's not really up to us to know the reasons though.

Sure would be nice if they threw us a damn clue though, wouldn't it? I mean, considering we all paid for this game at one point.
