This is very true. I have seen these NDAs because I worked and I do work for similar projects (the last one was as a writer on Assassin's Creed: Revelations - I'm in the credits so I guess I'm not breaking that NDA anymore :^D) and every time there is a leak my hair turns white - exp. if it is about something I'm involved with. A colleague of mine unwillingly broke an NDA before the deadline (he thought it was a week before) and his hair turned white permanently. Add to this how a single leak can cost the job not only to the leaker, but to a whole team working with him/her - exp. if that part of the job is outsourced. It is a multi-multi million dollars business, so I guess that the producers are entitled to be a bit paranoid. And, frankly, I don't respect much the leakers, unless they do an honest mistake. It is a stupid way to endanger your job. And, even if you were already fired and disgruntled, a childish way to put in a dangerous situation your former colleagues - not to mention the risk of not working in the industry anymore.
