I don't think there's any harm in posting impressions as long as things regarding to the game's storyline or lore are kept vague(hence my description of tall blonde chick and old man).
No need to be so uptight, plenty of other sites and forums get away with a lot more. Just a small and friendly warning would've sufficed.
I appreciate that people that were involved in the incident were quick to respond .
I am just here to warn people of the consequences that may follow after.
Just because there are other people doing it , doesn't mean we should be following them.
And how can you be sure that these people actually get away ? You never know .
On big site like mmorpg.com , any topics about the gameply were moderated 10 minutes after it was posted.
We have fairly lenient policy regarding NDA in lowyat forum , but this has nothing to do with Lowyat . It is your responsibility to keep up to what you agreed upon signing up.
Like I have strengthen in my previous post , if Besthesda ever find out about cases like this , they wouldn't do anything to you individually since they wouldn't have the time to.
Instead they will just exclude the whole country into their list of exception for their next game / beta entry , notice how the notorious Filipino gamers were always excluded in some of the AAA game beta ? This is one of the reason.
You signed for an NDA agreement , and it isn't just about the lore/story . The gameplay themselves are also part of the aspect .
Primarily they don't want people to get the wrong idea before the game actually releases .
And of course , as a gamer I personally disagree with Bethesda 's decision to keep the NDA active until today because it prevented the mass public to provide more opinions on the game.
No criticism , hardly any improvement.
