Update: We probably didn't make it clear that this leaked Endwar beta video isn't our original work and was actually sent to us as a tip. We just figured we'd pass it along. Never would we intentionally break an NDA agreement, especially one enacted by Ubisoft and their well paid lawyers.
Sit back, watch and marvel at what enjoyment a broken non-disclosure agreement (NDA) can bring with the embedded video above. Yup, it's a ten minute introductory video (off-screen, but we can deal) of what Tom Clancy's Endwar is all about. It's the definitive Endwar beta experience that non-beta participates always wanted! Enough talky, more watchy ...
[Thanks, Derka]

Jon, that has nothing to do with posting a ten minute video of a Games beta. So if you are going to make a comparison; make a valid one otherwise you come off as an idiot. Anyway, can you tell me why you want this video taken down and this person punished? Maybe you that would clarify what you said.

If anyone actually believed that the NDA wouldn't be broken, you're an idiot. And who cares. Nothing is going to happen to the guy that broke it, and nothing should. Stop trying to be super NDA upholder man.

While he's being a tool about it, Jon's right. No matter what they do about it, this person broke a law and a contract, and they can lawfully sue that person or get them banned. It's not about "thinking it wouldn't get broken". It's the fact that Ubisoft gave this person a first look at the game to give their opinion with one set of rules, and this person found the need to breach a contract.

I would have to agree with Zac completely.

So what? Is the world going to end now because someone has breached EndWar's Beta NDA? Will the seven plagues of Revelation devour our souls for having bared witness to such inconceivable acts of debauchery? Shall our society crumble down into shades of malice and remorse for having been subjected to something so flamboyantly evil?
Probably not since its a Beta and when you place such a high priority on a Beta you become very monkey-like. Now, if someone broke an NDA that put people in harm's way, then yes; I would share your concerns. However, this is an NDA for a freakin Beta version of a video game and the only reason the Beta testers are irate is because their exclusivity has been compromised.
Calm down, go outside, and help the world figure out how to ween their dependencies off of oil instead of berating someone for showing a blurry video for a game that doesn't have that much hype behind it to begin with. Seriously, do something constructive.
On that note, back to work.... enjoy your fanboyisms.

That video totally helped me steal intellectual property and finish off my new game: Start War.

@JW ok and now you're being the biggest tool, congrats!

JW said...
Arnob... wow, you're original. Way to think that up all by yourself there genius. Any other bright insights for us? I mean, really; I have my notepad out ready to go. Let me be enthralled by the wisdom that is Arnob.

Wow, where to even begin with your unintelligent post.
It's obvious you're not a business owner, nor working in an industry where information is money. I have all my clients sign NDA's, and most my contractual negotiations involve NDA's. It's very common, and were someone to break an NDA, yes I would sue them, and would expect no less were I to break one.
Why don't you do something constructive like take a business course and while you're doing that, I'm going to go fill my diesel truck up, and gleefully continue my dependance on oil.

I'm gonna tell you guys straight up...this is worth fussing about. This game utilizes some really nice tech and plays like making love to a vegas stripper. Some nice voice recognition software too by the way.
