They already reviewed it on The Verge a few weeks ago after the NDA expired.

Yeah, was just joking that this isn’t new and Valve were being dicks for enforcing a nonexistent NDA.

There was a very direct terms of service “Don’t share info”. But The Verge are notoriously awful journalists. It’s like they have no clue of what basic decent journalism entails and confuse good reporting with being trolling assholes. There’s a reason they were the only idiots who broke it and got rightly burned at the stake for it. I bet the guy wasn’t even looking at the screen when he spammed the ESC key at the game. Just because it wasn’t 100 pages of legalese doesn’t mean they weren’t bound by it. And just using the software means you agree to the explicit and implicit terms of service that come with the software as long as it isn’t something blatantly illegal.

From what I remember there was no NDA but no EULA either. It was a simple “please don’t share anything about this”, the journo ignored it and their account was banned. As far as I’m aware there’s no legal action going on, the Verge have just lost any goodwill they ever had with Valve.
