Alpha, Beta Testing NDA Policy

We are all aware that developers alpha and beta test hardware and software (including games). Developers always require testers to agree to confidentiality obligations (whether by agreeing to an separate NDA or as part of a larger license agreement).

OTG’s policy is simple: please do not post or link any information relating to any unreleased game, hardware, or other project (including the fact that you are testing it) unless it is public knowledge that the game, hardware, or other project is no longer subject to any confidentiality obligations.

Any post that violates this policy will be removed immediately.

OTG expects you to err on the side of discretion and to honor both the letter and the spirit of those confidentiality obligations, even if you are not a tester who has agreed to those obligations. If you have a whiff of a hint of a shadow of doubt about what you would like to post, simply PM and ask any Game Development officer.

Violations of this policy will result in warnings and/or temporary bans from the forums. Repeated violations may result in a permanent ban.
