It’s meant to be scary. I really think a lot of ndas are abused exactly because they are scary. The problem is they are expensive and uncertain.
Their validity is by state and enforcement is through the courts. Is a specific nda enforceable in your state? Is the other party likely to enforce it legally? Can you afford to defend yourself?
Don’t get me wrong,there are also many legit and enforceable ndas, which makes things complicated




IANAL obviously, but a game beta seems like the perfect legitimate use case for an nda. It’s time limited, very specific, you have legitimately volunteered.
NDAs are all different but ask yourself
If you have any such questions, you should definitely consult a lawyer before assuming
