I notice in the email from the Reddit link, there's no mention/reminder of NDA in the email. I thought they'd put something in if they really didn't want people announcing that they got in.

I don't really understand why they would be bothered with people saying that they were in the program.  I can understand them not wanting images or glitches posted or even people talking about the builds and of course i will fully respect that.

Oh, I agree with you, but people seemed concerned in this and previous threads that it was going to be a harshly punished violation to even say you got in.

Mine just arrived, i actually think it might be more around the Internet connection.  I have Virgin 500mb unlimited, currently one of the fastest connections in the UK with no limit.  I think MS might be wanting to test the streaming tech.  I also think it's way more than 100 people.

What are your PC specs if I may ask?

Nothing on the email suggested that you couldn't tell people you were in.  Besides i imagine that most of us simmers are very excited to start down the road.  If i get punished, so be it, i'll still be super excited when it is eventually released and will still be happy to buy it!

I assume they are just picking the best-looking people, which is why I'm sure I'll get in.

1000mb symmetric fiber connection here.

I think my invite got lost in the mail.  I'm going to go wait at the mailbox.

Couldn’t it be that they selected people based off their answers on the survey? I was honest but I think that some people might have been less honest (like how many hours you play simulation games etc). That’s just what I think.

Wouldn’t make sense to invite someone who only plays such games every few months.

My acceptance just arrived - a little before 1 p.m. EDT US.  So it's possible they're still rolling them out.

No NDA included in the invitation, nor any mention of one.  I'm assuming that they'll impose one as soon as downloads start, so I'll plan to comply with whatever the terms are as soon as I sign onto them.

I  and I do mean   "I ";  have not been called yet !!!!

As I am expecting a personalized voice call they may be holding back fior the finale of invitations

If I had to guess - and that's all I'm doing - I'd say it's probably a combination of system specs and experience/qualifications.  What we don't know is whether they want a particular profile at this point, or a mix of them.  Probably depends on what they're testing and I'd expect there to be a mix of very broad and very narrow groups over time as they look at different aspects of the sim.

Time will, of course, tell.
