There isn't even an informal agreement. It simply says not to share anything. Not even "by playing this, you agree not to share anything". It's just "please don't share anything" without any action required by your side.

Yeah, gaylord_fartmaster let me know. I thought the message was one of those "scroll down and click agree on this eula" things but its just a pop up box, so it's def not enforceable.

Nobody is saying it's enforceable. It's just a shitty thing to do when someone shows you something in confidence, asks not to share it, and you publish an entire news article about it. It's just a dick move. Obviously nothing illegal about it.
