It'd be a lot more reasonable if they simply said "No public discussion of this game, period"
Trying specifically to squelch the negative comments so any claims can go unchallenged is bullshit and entirely unreasonable.
Sure, more reasonable and fair. But this is neither unreasonable nor particularly unfair, as long as it's restricted to the alpha. If you find it bad, don't play it, and understand that what opinions come out of alpha are biased by this. I would recommend taking all reviews that come out of any alpha with a huge grain of salt.
they shouldnt be releasing it to streamers and youtubers to play, in alpha, on their goddamn channels, while muzzling them in how they can respond to issues that present themselves during their video/stream, if they want to "protect" (shut down any legitimate criticism concerns) their "alpha" (free advertising)
I agree with you. But this is basically a non-issue, which is my point. If you don't want to be restricted, don't play the alpha. Why is this so hard for some people to accept? Again, we aren't talking about a released product, but some playtesting.
