Jag fick precis min betanyckel till War of the Roses. Vilket jag faktiskt kan berätta för er, kära läsare, eftersom Paradox var vänliga nog att inkludera följande i mailet:

We are really happy to be able to provide you with a BETA key to War of the Roses! This is a press key for the BETA which means that you are exempt of any NDA all consumers have to stick to until release. That means – and please forgive us for stating the obvious - any footage, impressions, images etc that you grab from the game based off this press key is ok to publish. The only thing we ask in return is that you please keep in mind the game is still in BETA and the developers are working very hard to continuously improve the game until release.

Så behandlar man pressen om man vill bli omtyckt. För att inte tala om att det underlättar mitt och andra spelskribenters arbete rejält. Om nu alla andra ville anamma samma inställning...
