It's still in development, and saying "Do not share anything about the game with anyone." Hollister wrote that this message popped up on launch, but that he "didn't click 'OK'; instead, I hit the Escape key and watched it disappear."

its helps, butt technically using the service after being made aware of the terms of service, courts will probably decide that you have tacitly agreed to the terms of service PERIODT
But while no good journ*list sets out to intentionally hurt someone, the profession requires honesty and fairness over niceness. This can be complicated, and all journ*lists struggle with it. The news value of The Verge's story is clear–Valve has been bizarrely secretive about Deadlock, a game thousands of people are currently playing. Readers are right to want to know more about it, and what it's like to play, and Hollister can tell them that while still adhering to journ*listic ethics: he didn't get access illicitly, or misrepresent himself, or break any agreements.
They're talking about this like the journoid uncovered warcrimes , like he has a duty to inform the public. He just wanted to make a quick buck

people are dumb and don't understand what unfinished means. remember when someone leaked what a ps5 devkit looked like and everyone was ripping on sony for months for the pizza shape? there's videos even now of people going "ok well even if it was a devkit I wasn't wrong for freaking out about it"
Exactly, some grifter tiktoker will make a dishonest video like "this game looks like dogshit, is it over for Valve?" knowing full well it's not how it will be released. Then when people rightfully call him out for lying he'll just hide behind "What? I was just asking questions" but public perception will be dented.
Ill give them props for just making the game a moba unlike OW and its clones which try really hard to pretend they arent mobas when they are. Im pretty sure Splatoon by Nintendo is a more hardcore, fast paced, reflex focused shooter then Over "wait for my abilities to cool down and my healslut to heal me" Watch

We just don't think, that we are smarter. We truly are too smart for social media. We care for our privacy and are not s*x objects for horny 13y/o like on other Platforms (e.g. Instagram, Snapchat, etc.). We are Redditors. We are anonymous, but we still understand and care for each other.

Its an interesting strategy. Pretend its exclusive, hand out invites like a street preacher to every passing r-slur then destroy journ*list who talk about it. Its better then jacking off journos i guess. I hope it works

It's also an incredibly low stakes to do, absolute worst case you get banned from a dogshit game and another "journ*list" has to play it instead

They don't want people posting screenshots or footage, talking about it seems to be fine. People talking about it text only haven't been banned.

But why wouldn't you want more publicity for your shit????
Also there's a bajillion videos out there anyway they aren't enforcing it with takedowns or anything.

The game is graphically unfinished. It's mostly temp art, it seems they don't want people to get bad impressions.
I think they want to avoid copyright strikes, but they are banning people who make videos.

It was an accident, they just decided to roll with it and allow people in the alpha to keep inviting people.

Update, August 12th: Turns out, Valve was not fine with me trying Deadlock with friends; I've been banned from matchmaking! Oh well. Please feel free to make fun of me in the comments!:
