I don't think he is, just being realistic. You can't assume that shes doing voice overs for Shantae in smash. It could be any game. As my one fav. teacher when I was in HighSchool always said, "don't assume, makes an *** out of you and me."
And why am I not allowed to assume that?
I mean, we all agree that Shantae is very likely to be in the game in some form.
So if that's the case, why can I not assume she is doing voice work for Smash? o_O
I actually agreed with the whole "its not for Icons" as its unlikely that the NDA extends past her announcement.
Just trying to point out that legal documents can stipulate anything, and as such speculation on legal matters will never yield a fact.
If you agree with it, why bring up opposing views at all?
It really doesn't make it look like you agree with it...
It's not just Icons that Christina is working on, for that matter. She's also voicing Shantae for the Indivisible game and I believe that game is reaching its end state. I think Miss Vee has fingers in at least 2-3 pies at the moment.
That said, I'm not dismissing outright either that it could be for Smash. Just try and keep a level head and search out all the possibilities.
Never said otherwise.
I was just trying to understand, why she would still be under an NDA over something that was already announced?
Let me preface this by stating I am not a lawyer nor do I have any background in Law so this is all just my interpretation of general NDA practice.
NDA's prevent companies, or anyone under the agreement, from directly exposing information that has been agreed upon by all parties. So in Yacht Club's case, they never explicitly said "Shovel Knight is in Smash" they only commented on that it would be cool if he was. This would not be breaking an NDA as they are not directly relaying any information about Smash. An outside example would be Kit Harrington from GOT after his character in the series was presumably dead. Kit went onto talk shows and talked about and stated that his character was dead and that he was done with the series. Fast forward to the next season and lo and behold his character wasn't dead and he was lying in order to keep people guessing as to his characters fate.
The key thing to keep in mind is that not all contracts are identical. Companies can create any other kinds of stipulations in the agreement so while one contract may prevent all talk of a game another may only prevent disclosing information.
Sorry, but you got it completely wrong.
The issue wasn't Yacht Club Games talking about Shovel Knight.
It was about Vee's Twitter Post, where she hinted that she completed voice work for something secret or something like that.
What exactly she is hinting at is anyone's guess.
However it makes sense to rule out a role for her, that was already revealed at that point.
But someone arguied she still is under an NDA, even though her involvement in that project, was revealed already at that point in time.
And to counter that argument, I brought up Yacht Club Games, who, if I am not mistaken, started talking about Shovel Knight Assist Trophy as soon as he was revealed in the 8/8 Direct.
