Hmm actually now that you put it that way, yeah, that's a little shady. Though, I could easily see it as some overenthusiastic reddit mods trying to "do their duty" rather than a malicious conspiracy between them and EA.fix-the-spade said:Indeed, but it should only be enforced by the people who gave out the contract. Getting other people to enforce it unofficially on the sly is beyond shady. It's doubly shady when they're enforcing a NDA they signed against other people who didn't sign one.dyre said:The first image seems fairly innocuous...if someone signs an NDA in return for early access, then certainly the NDA should be enforced if possible.
I'm pretty sure EA could give free ice cream to all the world's orphans and still find a way to disgust everybody with how they did it.
Then again, there seems to be a healthy bit of other evidence as well, so I guess we'll see what happens.
