I don't say anything or move forward until our Brand Manager has sanctioned it.
The ideas are not even bad, just remake them. So much good stuff just jumbled together into nonsenseWhoa hold up. The thread ain't even about NDA's anymore. It's about this.
Safest way to go! :D
People leak because the idea of secrets in the video game industry (or any industry) is silly. Everything should be announced the moment work gets underway, almost like you hear about movies hiring directors or writers years before the first logo or trailer is released.
Sometimes leaks happen to save projects or shed light on wrong doings. It's not the game industry, but the live action deadpool movies wouldn't exist if not for that demo concept footage leaking. I guess what I'm saying is some people leak things with the best intentions and things work out for the best.

Does make you wonder what the secrecy is with games and tech. Do NDAs exist in other industries so prevalently?People leak because the idea of secrets in the video game industry (or any industry) is silly.

Interesting. We don't have anything remotely similar at our job just "don't speak to the press" when asked about some controversial thing. Which is fine because all I could do is the Jim ShrugYes, pretty much everywhere. Commercial in confidence agreements, NDAs& a variety of other mechanisms that essentially say 'Keep your mouth shut about the new stuff.'

Not leaking shit is simple: just keep your mouth shut. If you signed an NDA, it's a legal reminder to keep doing just that.
I've signed NDA's before, and I've so far been doing pretty good about not talking about the subject in question.
Okay, fineNow this would get you in trouble. Publishing leaked information isn't a risk. Inducing someone to break an NDA by offering payment can get you sued.
How was this "accidental"? You were about to consciously share content you knew was covered by the NDA but thought stripping out any company details would make it harder to identify.
I'm really not sure what either you or your boss were thinking, OP...

HA HA HA. NOPE
I'm bound by NDAs for (some high profile) game companies I've worked for in perpetuity. And a few of them are quite litigious. Lots of information I'd love to share but can't. It's a combination of "not worth the potential legal headache" and respect for the work of my friends and colleagues.
I do love chatting about stuff that's not secret, though. I'm out of the industry now but I still love following/thinking about it.
Edit: Oh, and I've been on the investigative end of leaking. If you're in a vendor or contract role, there's a good chance we'll find you unless you're a exceptionally good at covering your tracks or the company is really bad at investigating.
Pretty simple to be honest.
Hey at least they gave us podracing and two great games based off that... we need a new one
