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.
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
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.’
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.

🐂💩
nah I agree, no way does an NDA extend this long, he’s gotta be lying
I haven’t heard of many NDAs extending past 3 years.
Stop acting like they’re gonna put a hit out on you…
Nintendo Ninjas are real my dude. You just can’t see them.
Ninjabread Man 2?

Was the game ported on other platforms?
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.

You could offer it up to the game preservation guys. So it will be there forever.
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.
yeah. clearly you don’t know how NDAs work.
It’s very likely you and the guy who thinks maybe some (?) of the old NDAs apply also don’t know.
