EA might ban beta leakers from Battlefield 2042 after release

With Battlefield 2042 having kicked off its limited beta testing this week, which EA is billing as a “technical preview,” a number of videos, streamed segments, and screenshots began to show up online. The people who are in this beta, however, signed an NDA saying they won’t share details or videos of the game. EA has now warned those folks that they may find themselves not just booted from the test, but kicked out of the game entirely, forever.

EA has taken rapid action to squash videos as they show up, but yesterday EA Studios Europe’s lead community manager took to twitter about the test. Walsh detailed how the test is going,  giving details on how many are playing and why EA holds tech tests like these. At the beginning of his thread and in the middle, however, Walsh reminded readers that they are “under NDA for this Playtest, so Videos, Screenshots and Streaming” would result in EA taking action against the posting channel. “Break the rules,” said Walsh, “expect to lose access to both the Technical Playtest, future EA Tests, and potentially access to 2042 itself when it releases.”
