Friends and family beta is out!

the NDA doesnt prohibit people from disclosing there is infact an NDA...her husband sounds stupid.


and how credible are these people? do you know them IRL? Do you know for a fact they have a family member or friend working at blizzard?

Except that she didn't only disclose that there is a NDA. She disclosed that the friends and family beta is happening right now.

What testing phase it is in has nothing to do with NDA........ everyone who has a brain knows it's in FnF regardless of someone leaking it's been started.

Me? I'd install it most likely and after that, I don't know really.

I don't want to go into extent other than they are credible, I know them in RL, and she is family of a blizzard employee. Whether you trust it or not doesn't matter to me, I'm putting information here as a courtesy, I can hold back any information I gain if you truly want. ^_^ Won't stop me from pestering her *laughs*

Haha, I actually am being honest. I'd probably most likely post a screenshot of the install process and the login screen. After that, not much since I can't play it. It'd be fun just to have though.

It doesn't matter if everyone knows; if an NDA says you're not supposed to talk about it, you don't talk about it. Period.

Nope I trust you, just curious. You'd be to if one of us said the same =P

FYI, you guys are getting trolled hard. I am a writer for Best of Media (Tom's Hardware, Tom's Guide), and I wrote in to the SC PR manager about this rumor. Here is his response:

Hi Ryan,

I can confirm that we have not launched a friends and family beta, nor any type of external beta yet.

Thanks,
Bob

Hey Bob,

Just a quick question for you since I'm not seeing any responses by Blizzard CMs. I've been reading reports today on several forums and fan-sites that a SC2 friends and family beta was launched earlier this month. Is there any truth to that? I haven't seen anything change on my Battle.net account page to reflect having access yet.
