Re: FIFA 14 - Game related talk only!
I know it sounds harsh, as I am clearly aware, but those are the terms you agreed to. Are others breaking the rules too? Yes, they are - but that isn't much justification.
You have to understand that this is a beta, not a demo. When EA serve up demos for press previews and for conferences, they are designed to demonstrate the game. A closed beta is designed to elicit feedback from users, and to test their systems, and not to demonstrate the game.
Over the course of the year, EA provide opportunities to play early versions of their games. A lot of them are not entirely finished and a lot of them won't be especially polished. Therefore EA will put restrictions on what can, and cannot be made public. There has to be a level of trust there: EA need to know that embargoes won't be broken, and that those who are allowed to publish information are responsible with how they do it.
I can see why it seems harsh, I can also see why EA want to keep this stuff private.

I reminded everyone twice already.

Seriously? Really surprised, especially coming from you. You sound like you work for EA lately. If that in bold is your goal, then, you doing it worse!
There it is. I was accused of being a viral marketing agent for Konami a couple of years ago. I think it should be perfectly clear that I am not some EA plant, nor someone who ignores EA's faults. At the same time, I respect their wishes when it comes to embargoes and think others should too - and I would say precisely the same if this was Konami's game or anyone else's game for that matter.
