There is no NDA for Deadlock, and anyone in it can invite anyone they want, as often as they want. It's not like Valve has no idea how to privately test their game. I think they made these decisions deliberately.

A bit of the eula says not to share info about the game, but you can literally back out without accepting the eula, and still play. So I don't know if I'd call it intentional, but there's definitely no legal reason they can't post whatever they want. They just got banned for it and might have damaged their relationship with valve somewhat. Depends on how much valve cares tho.

Edit: it wasnt even a eula apparently, just a "pls dont tell people ok?" Pop up. Thanks to the folks clarifying <3

There's no EULA just like there's no NDA. That pop up and a one sentence post about not sharing info about the game on the forum is all there is.

Oh ok, I must've misread the article, thanks for clarifying :)
