What does “make other public performance of it” mean? Am I subject to licence revokation if I make a screenshot and post it on social media or something?

    I can’t read “You must not […] broadcast it” as anything but banning streamers from playing Helldivers 2?

    a “public performance” is something like a concert, stage production, or public screening where people are gathered who are not family members.

    a static screenshot would not be considered one, but might be covered elsewhere in the document; but also allowed anyway by fair use.

      I think it would be an interesting concerted effort to question every multinational company’s legal team for every clause in their terms, conditions and privacy policies, when they do something like Disney and make you waive your rights to sue on someone’s behalf for killing them, if you signed up for their streaming service.

    I decided to write support and ask them permission to stream the game, here’s their response:

    Nintendo has the same clause. Seems to be a weird thing Japanese game studios do

    It is saying not to do things that could make money off of HDII without their permission, including live public performances.
