    For those who doesn't know what NDA is, Non-Disclosure Agreement. Basically, you can't talk/show stuff to other people who do not own the game.

    And that's pretty much my question, will there be an NDA when Beta starts?

    I believe it was confirmed that there is not; however, I am not the authority on this matter.

    I kind of doubt it. If there were, you'd probably have signed it when you bought the pre-order, and there was nothing like that on it. Besides, this is more like an open beta than closed.

    No, there will not be an NDA on the beta, to my knowledge. We would hardly be able to enforce one anyway, because I'm sure that more than a few minors have signed up, and there's money involved and we haven't said anything about it.

    Given over $1,000,000 worth of pre-orders, I cannot imagine that there would be. Additionally, it would be inconsistent with the attitude that Chucklefish have demonstrated so far. So no, I highly doubt there will be. If I'm wrong, I vow to attach rockets to pigs.
    Edit: Ninja'd by the Dev. What he said.

    They have stated you are allowed to show absolutely anything from the Beta to others.

    I'll be streaming for the whole wide world to see!!! MWHAHAH (and I won't be breaking the rules.)
     
  11. I doubt there will be a NDA, since you can get access to beta simply by throwing in fifteen dollars.

    My gut says no. After all there's going to be a lot of people signing up for the beta (which could be more than what the developers and mods can handle). But again, not known at this time and could change in the future.

    And even if there was a NDA, it won't block someone to post pictures and video-caps...

    But anyway, I'm glad there won't be one :D So I can shove some StarBound goodies into my friends faces ! :devil:

    they could always have a eula or something like it when you download the client or whatever

    One does not simply throw fifteen dollars, unless you roll it up that is. But who does that?
