Friends and family beta is out!

[Sydarm]

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.

The question for you: If it were leaked, what would you do with it?

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

*chuckles* Honesty, it will get you everywhere.

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.
