The NDA, or non disclosure agreement, on SWTOR is what prevents game like SWTOR that is highly based in story, it’s to be expected. i2q4f
MMORPG writes in a column that they believe it just might be time to drop the NDA already. They think since beta testing is being offered to basically everyone, that it’s time to drop the NDA.
They write:
“Recently, BioWare concluded their largest Game Testing, as well as those who never bothered, will have a chance to take the game for a spin before it launches in about a month.”
That’s a pretty good point. If you or anyone you know has played the already known about the game, there is little left to protect.
They say, “I would honestly be surprised if the NDA survives the final Beta Weekend, but that day just can’t come soon enough.”
That is again a good point, however, there is more to an NDA than just game testing NDA officially, although it is possible they may take a lesser stance on going after people who leak information at this point.
