I don't get the NDA

Then I saw lol Nazi Brits, rolled my eyes, and played Path of Exile for a month.

Alpha/beta/early project development/working the bugs out NDA = good
Close to release NDA = void of information = bad marketing

The NDA just frustrates me at this point. The fact that I can't talk about even the most minor things just kills enthusiasm and hype

1. It allows for Relic to give exclusive press releases to gaming news sites and magazines, creating more publicity for the game that way by saving their content to get it out there to a broader audience(one not already associated with COH2)
2. It allows them to test and develop things at their own pace and later present these developements how they want them to be seen. It will remove criticism of some questionable decisions on unfinished ideas and designs
Still this doesn't necessarily make it a good policy it has its negatives as well and as far as im aware Noun didn't like the NDA either

I somewhat understand it. I played the open beta of CoH2 after playing the first game and the beta destroyed me interest in it completely. I've heard lots of other people bailed on their pre-orders after playing the beta? Not sure how true that is, but it reflects my experience.
The beta was really bad though, it had worse balance than most third-party mods did.

1 P4 could take on 5 T34/76 and win.
PTRS had greater AT potential then T34/76 and T34/85.
Panther was Elephant with turret.
251 flame HT with damage potential of old KV-8, if you haven't got guards by the time it came out, you could quit.
Stock elephant, doctrinal ISU.
SU-76 being useful and used
Mad times.
But these were the first steps. At this time it makes little sense to keep EVERYTHING under NDA, unless they want to buttrape balance even more and crush our hopes at next balance patch.

I know, but I think that experience spooked them.

Spooked Relic into keeping everything secret, I mean.

I used to defend them staunchly but at this point I honestly think they don't give a rat's ass about their community or their game.

Mad times.
Don't forget-
The dirt-cheap T34s that made elefants, tigers, and just about every piece of vetted armor worthless because of 1000 penetration gun-destroying and immobilizing rams,
M3 flamers were the equal of any flamer halftrack right out the gate,
Snipers and guards rolling around in cars laughing at the 222 with its 0 damage machine-gun,
6 minute T70s and the paks that couldn't hit them (or anything else),
And worst of all, the soviet wire field of maximum annoyance on Pripyat Summer
