The NDA will remain in force in perpetuity. What happened in Alpha stays in Alpha. You will only be able to discuss the retail version you have purchased on the 18th.

Ah ok, I was not aware of that.

I guess that means I wont be needing to be on time for tomorrow's livestream then (you know, to get my questions in), since it means that the questions and answers they are willing to discuss have already been pre-determined. I mean why bother asking if they've already got a list of answers on their agenda. This would just  be marketing then, much like the current YT videos are leaving so much out.

I'll read about it or watch it after the fact 🙂

No, that’s not what that means at all! The NDA we are speaking about only applies to Alpha / Beta testers... The Asobo team likely is at free will to release what they want (unless they are restricted by Microsoft).

Tomorrow’s stream is very much worth watching.

One word...Chainsaw....for your Farm Sim 2020.

I don't really see any benefit to discuss anything we saw in the Alpha even things that were argued about that may have fallen on deaf ears and never made it to release.  Either way, whatever is released, everyone in the world will be able to chime in with yay or neigh shortly in the public forum and MS/Adobo will respond in thanks or do something about the negative items or nothing.  At the end of the day there will be things that some people won't like and then they will complain that how could there have been an alpha test for 8 months and no one said anything about this!  Then we in the know who know how many times it was brought up and discussed and try do defend a losing position so it's not worth it. I say at this point most of the good and bad Alpha items are being brought to light in YouTube forums and the hope is that the bigger items that fall short will not even be a thing on release day!

With less than 6 days remaining to launch I thought it would be fun to guess the date that the NDA will be officially lifted.

At tomorrow's Livestream?

Friday the 14th?

The same day it releases (Aug 18th)?

Step right up, folks, and take yer best bet!

So lets see...I dunno...I'm going to guess that the NDA lifting will be announced during tomorrow's livestream event.

I think, that for Alpha/beta will be NDA lifted never, because it's still an incomplete version. So it wouldn't be correct to rate unfinished program.

Does it really matter? This NDA has a bigger leak than the one on the Titanic.

You wanna talk about how to call the sim instead?

Spot on, the beta is not ending. It will only be paused during the RC launch.
