then they read the EULA.
- you don't OWN the game, you have a LICENSE that can be revoked anytime
- they collect your personal data and device information
- streaming and recording require disclaimers
- mods you create inside their game - they have legal claims over

- they can change ANY of these terms whenever they want without asking you

Video from the Austrian pavilion at the Venice Biennale:
Artist Florentina Holzinger hangs upside down inside a giant bronze bell. She swings back and forth and literally “rings” the bell with her own body.
This is part of a large-scale installation about the climate apocalypse. The bell with a person inside symbolizes a warning about the coming flood.
The Biennale officially opens on May 9, 2026, but the performance has already begun.
