Fucking bonkers. Between this an McD's changing their ToS to say using their app waives any right to non-arbitration dispute, something needs to be done about companies trying to effectively write new laws into their ToS. This shit is beyond egregious
We aren't talking about something in production, like this app, we are talking about play testing a game in alpha. I would be upset if this was in a released game, or even like the beta test, but if it's still under serious development it seems incredibly reasonable to me.
If it's still in alpha, then a standard non disclosure should be fine.
A non-disparagement clause is overkill.
I could agree that it's overkill, but that doesn't warrant the outrage we're seeing here. IMO of course. If this is really offensive to you, just wait for release. Considering it's FTP so this doesn't apply as much, but I would recommend even waiting until way after release to buy a game.
There is an idiom about the Forrest and the trees. You don't appear to see the Forrest?
It's an alpha product we're talking about. It's not me who's missing the forest for the trees.
Do you live under a rock or you smoking corpo rocks?
You're the one getting worked up over not being able to consume a product in its alpha state without agreeing to some non imposing rule.
I'm simply not going to join the alpha.
If anyone here is desperate to suck at the teet of a corporation, it ain't me.
And yet...
"I don't suck teets, I lick boots" ;)
