The dude who is so keen on leaking details of a game that he's already broke the NDA for it four years in-advance?

Looked it over. I ain't broke shit. You really think I'd piss them off when I'd love to do the Guide for the sure to be upcoming Portal 3?

I thought they said they were done with Aperture Science and GLaDOS?

Is there a specific day it expires?

This is a completely serious inquiry, as I want to hold you to it.

Interestingly enough when making the Portal 2 guide, I didn't have to sign any NDA at all. I could have spoiled everything months in advance with no repercussions. Of course I didn't ;-p It was twice as weird because several parts of the developer interviews were cut when stuff they didn't want out was talked about (such as the F-Stop mechanic), yet they seemed to be fine with me knowing all that.

While up there, maybe a month and a half before the game came out, these two attractive blonde female game journalists from Australia came up to preview the game. Of course, everybody at Valve attended to their every need because they were hot :-p The next day, the achievements leaked. I WONDER WHO DID THAT?

Information wants to be free (to flirt with hot chicks?)!

All women are. You blondes just happen to be the most treacherous.

Besides, you're being incredibly offensive assuming all blondes are treacherous creatures. :P

Does that allow them to say which company or companies it was for, when the agreement was made, or which game it was?

I've participated in a couple Microsoft playtests and each time they've said that its alright to tell others that you were at Microsoft to participate, but anything about the game, including its name, the developer, and experience itself is pursuant to the NDA. Anyone with a keen sense of obviousness can gleam details from tease-y little bits and conclude which game you were playing.

It's different with Bungie since they have only one game in production (presumably), so everyone's going to assume you played Destiny. The gratuity items they reward playtesters with are there to shut us up since they let you play their game.

...or when the agreement expires?

Everyone's just going to think you're full of shit.

I was made aware that the only thing a non-disclosure agreement allowed a playtester to divulge is that they participated in a game study and nothing more, not even the most minor aspects of the game.

Yes I enjoy taking the fun out of everything. :)

I have an NDA regarding HL2 EP 3 that expires in 2017. If that day comes and the game isn't out yet, I'm totally posting spoilers.

expires in 2017. If that day comes and the game isn't out yet

We may make a hero of you yet.
