The result was that some of our Alpha 1 backers became reluctant to engage in our first Alpha test." "With ongoing legal action against the studio, it was suggested that the wording was intentionally ambiguous and designed to give up your rights to take legal action against us for previous use of our Website or Services, or for us to describe our product as finished or final to render ongoing legal claims void. "Sadly, it became apparent that, even before downloading the client, some players and influencers reacted to specific sections of our Test Agreement with suspicion," Walsh states in the post.
This is, of course, after effectively coming down players and influencers for reacting with "suspicion" over the agreement, when they of right ought to do. While claiming that this does not reflect a "change to the substance of the Agreement," Walsh says that the NDA's rewording is a way to better "clarify" their intent when putting forth the NDA agreement for Kingdoms of Elyria. Well, it seems the team at Soulbound Studios has picked up on this and is seemingly determined to get those backers into the Alpha, as CEO Jeromy Walsh this week announced via the studio's website that the NDA is being changed. While the language is actually pretty standard for NDAs, with the backdrop of the current class action lawsuit being brought forth by backers already ongoing, many potential testers urged each other not to sign the NDA as a result of the language, as we reported. Skeptical backers (and they have every right to be skeptical) saw this potentially as a way for them to effectively throw away their claims to sue the studio, both retroactively and in the future. If you'll recall, when the Kingdoms of Elyria alpha began, eagle-eyed users spotted some concerning language in the NDA agreement which would see players potentially waive their right to legal action against Soulbound Studios.
