You dont know 2 things which makes your thoughts incorrect:
1) I had a communication with GPD and Skynet some days before holidays, i asked about GC possibility and they said they will check for empty spots if they exists, no words about any NDA restrictions.
My words about NDA are my initiative because i understand how things are doing.
2) Here in Moscow we HAVE and official EA center - EA RUSSIA, and we have direct contact and communications with them , they are our sponsors (of our EA UFC 2 league - VFC), so as i live in Moscow, there is no problem to visit EA Russia office to sign in NDA, test game buid in confidentional conditions, and may be participate in online events to test network between RUS and US or video conference.
