Exclusive game servers for higher tiers may be added in the future, but none are currently offered or included as a paid benefit.</p></details>

+        <details><summary>Do I need a paid membership to watch, read, or play?</summary><p>No. Public videos, writing, and source code can be explored without a paid membership. A free Open Lab (Level 0) account includes access to games hosted on eom.dev, and paid members can play too. No paid-exclusive game servers are currently included.</p></details>
         <details><summary>How do membership giveaways work?</summary><p>Giveaways are associated with a membership tier. Higher tiers include giveaway benefits from lower tiers, including Open Lab. Each giveaway's rules will list its availability, dates, prizes and any eligibility restrictions. Membership does not guarantee a prize.</p></details>
-        <details><summary>Who can vote on the platform's direction?</summary><p>Platinum (Level 4) and Diamond (Level 5) members can take part in exclusive polls about the direction of the platform. These are separate from Gold's project-topic polls. Results help inform decisions; they are not binding commitments or guarantees of particular features.</p></details>
+        <details><summary>What do membership polls influence?</summary><p>Gold (Level 3) and above can share preferences about future project topics and experiments. Platinum (Level 4) and Diamond (Level 5) also receive separate polls about the direction of eom.dev itself. Results inform my decisions; they are not binding commitments or guarantees of particular features.</p></details>
         <details><summary>What happens when a membership ends?</summary><p>Your free eom.dev account stays. Member-only access ends when your paid membership expires. An immediate cancellation removes that access once your membership status updates.</p></details>
         <details><summary>Where do members connect?</summary><p>On Discourse and Matrix. Ordinary community access is free; Bronze and above also receive exclusive content in those services.</p></details>
         <details><summary>Can I change or cancel a plan?</summary><p>Use Manage billing after signing in. The billing portal offers the changes enabled for your plan. Cancellation at period end keeps access through the paid expiry date.</p></details>
