This article analyses social functions of a watermark placed in the content of digitalized artefacts of heritage. It presents the weaknesses of this way of protecting collections, prone to decoding and taking over, and still referring to the base of a digital copy (object – centeredness). It describes the pattern of comments on heritage, whose media is a watermark. Eventually, a watermark does no longer have to be a tool or a helping hand in the commercialization of collections, but it becomes an attempt to protect the canon, a confirmation of institution’s significance – as a depositary of artefacts, but also of the knowledge about them, and even a certain kind of ethical act.

"Nuclear Gandhi" is a surprising and controversial image of an Indian leader - Mahatma Gandhi. Often portrayed against the backdrop of nuclear explosions, his poses and styles clearly are suggesting awe and admiration for the ongoing mass destruction. This image is related to Sid Meier’s Civilization VI – one of the most influential video games in the history of gaming. The aim of the article is to analyse this particular case study and consider processes from many different angles that led to the emergence of this controversial phenomenon. To do so, the notion of archiverse is introduced - an assemblage (after Jane Bennett) of all cultural, political, economic and technological archives performed by the user. By following the connections between different, often seemingly distant data and contexts, it is possible to propose an archive-centric perspective on video game study.
