Comment on The Verge Under Fire For Publishing Info About ‘Deadlock,’ Valve’s Secret Shooter
Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 weeks agoIt wasnt a rumor or hearsay but literally breaking a gentlemans NDA.
I havent played it but as I heard they requested not to show it and the journalist supposedly recorded whole gameplay amd wrote about it?
Seems like a clear deal to me to cut of and ban his account for breaking an agreement for early access.
Reporting about leaks and rumors is totally fine. But that’s like being the primary reporter of a whistle blower

“Gentleman’s NDA” is not a thing. It’s either a legally-binding NDA or it’s not.

It is. It’s called Trust.
If I call you a friend and tell ypu something confidential I trust you to not talk about with someone else and you do regardless, I will quit the friendship.

Game publishers are not your friend.
