My answers are kinda lame: Billy Hatcher on GameCube and Chibi-Robo Park Patrol on DS. But what are your answers?

A long time ago, I worked in a company where we made a game for the Wii. The project was ultimately cancelled but the game went all the way through certification and printing. As "consolation", all employees got a copy of the game.

Not saying any names besides the console just in case some of the old NDAs still apply.

Stop acting like they're gonna put a hit out on you...

Nintendo Ninjas are real my dude. You just can't see them.

nah I agree, no way does an NDA extend this long, he's gotta be lying

[–] Palodin@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

The odds that an NDA from the Wii era is still enforceable, and that anyone would even be interested in enforcing it now, has gotta be practically zero

Was the game ported on other platforms?

I'm not saying I doubt you, this sort of thing can happen, but this is VERY reminiscent of when people would say 'oh you wouldn't know my girlfriend, she goes to another school.'

[–] aspacelot@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

I’ve never signed an nda that extended past 5 years

[–] Skrillamane@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

I haven't heard of many NDAs extending past 3 years.

Ask them for a copy of your NDA if you don’t have one

[–] syntheticgerbil@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Was it some kind of trash mini game collection?

I mean you can always anomalously upload it. Throw away, VPN, you would be doing a favor to the preservation world.

[–] AltXUser@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

There's a chance it has a hidden code in the game that identifies which copy it is. I'd say he should contact his previous employer or find out if the NDA still applies that way he's not guessing if the contract still applies or not.

You could offer it up to the game preservation guys. So it will be there forever.

[–] jakeeeenator@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

He's under NDA. He could easily get sued for donating it. And odds are he won't donate since he won't even say the game name.

[–] gaytechdadwithson@alien.top 0 points 9 months ago (2 children)

yeah. clearly you don’t know how NDAs work.

[–] GuyHiding@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Anonymous donation

[–] steampig@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

It’s very likely you and the guy who thinks maybe some (?) of the old NDAs apply also don’t know.
