one way would be having them sign a non-disclosure agreement, they would legally have to pay quite a sum if they leaked something  

how would a graal username be legally binding

how would a graal username be legally binding

Well, in this particular case everyone working with the new tileset would be required to sign a multilateral NDA which is basically them saying they won't disclose anything even something as little as a username.

A multilateral DNA is basically when one party (tileset creator/Unixmad) knows they'll be disclosing information to at least 2 other parties (multiple people on the staff team) and want to protect the information from further disclosure (staff team to players).

In order to make this work the NDA will have applicable punishment for anyone who fails to respect the agreement in the case of Graal it would most likely be something simple like having the right to ban a staff member from all Eurocenter/Toonslab services.

They can also terminate any staff members who don't agree to sign it.

Obviously they didn't do this because it's just too much work to be physically getting signatures from everyone, but this is a common practice in game development.

They probably just won't let anyone see the tileset.

I don't think you completely answered the question

I don't think you completely answered the question

I did, the way she worded her post sounds like she's saying they couldn't have a legally binded NDA just by having someone sign their username.

I said they would have to get their real signatures, which is why they obviously haven't gotten an NDA and so legally speaking there is nothing stopping people from leaking anything about the tileset, the only reason they aren't is because they most likely don't know anything about it.

No, I still don't think you fully answered the question.  

It doesn't matter, not like we going to be seeing it anytime soonmaybe reverse psychology would help spur them on lol

@other posts it just wouldn't work out anyway they could simply create new emails/create a skype/discord etc under completely different names and usernames etc then bam oh you have evidence of jimbob99 sending you tileset and have no idea who it is, GG.
