    I wish valve could sued the mf instead of just banning him. The game ask to not divulge and the mf publish a article to farm some internet clicks, come on man.

      And I’m not under NDA. I have signed no contracts and made no verbal agreements; I haven’t even clicked through a EULA.

      This message does pop up when I launch Deadlock, but I didn’t click “OK”; instead, I hit the Escape key and watched it disappear.

          why wouldn’t it be an agreement tho? like sure it’s not an EULA, but it’s asking you to do something before allowing you into the game

            They could have worded it differently, but they didn’t. It doesn’t ask, it doesn’t have any confirmation or agreement language. It literally just says ‘do not share anything about the game with anyone’ with an ‘ok’ prompt.

      Why though? They get free advertising and by banning him they showed everyone else that they will follow through on banning if they share information so it stays contained.

        Did they want the free advertising now in the alpha? I don’t think so

          Honestly, I think Valve is just kind of doing a soft release/announcement and are trying to build up hype slowly like this. If they were really worried about leaks they wouldn’t have given anybody in it unlimited free invites to send to anyone.

            Fair enough, but there is a possibility that the unlimited invites was not intentional hahahaha. Valve also do some oopsie doodle
