Hello, and welcome to another episode of Talk This! It’s Dangerous to Podcast Alone. This week, we’re talking about NDAs and streaming guidelines and more. Let’s get messy and ambiguous, wahoo.
As always, you can listen to our podcast basically anywhere. Check it out on Apple Podcasts, YouTube, Spotify, or Pandora (or head over to our episodes page for even more options). Or just listen below!
The Topic
What is the role of NDAs in the games industry? What sort of murky areas can NDAs get into? When are NDAs used versus requests or mutual understood handshakes? How do practices differ when dealing with journalists rather than dealing with content creators? Other than reviews and coverage, where do NDAs show up in games development?
The Actual Discussion
We, of course, talk about the big headlines of Deadlock and Black Myth: Wukong. We also talk about the different requests a streamer might be given for a sponsored stream or other coverage, and we talk about how expectations differ between that and a review. Beyond just journalism and marketing, we also talk about how NDAs impact voice actors, translators, and more
