This is just horrifying.

Ubisoft CONFIRMS they will delete your account & purchased games if you go inactive for too long!!!

Ubisoft… WTF?! Another example of why I’m becoming more & more concerned with the death of physical games.

Hey there. We just wanted to chime in that you can avoid the account closure by logging into your account within the 30 days (since receiving the email pictured) and selecting the Cancel Account Closure link contained in the email. We certainly do not want you to lose access to your games or account so if you have any difficulties logging in then please create a support case with us. >> ubisoft.com/help

    Imagine buying something from these people after this.

    Yes, sometimes I don’t play a game for 5 years, but I bought and own it, and I know it’ll be there when I come back to it.

    …unless it’s Ubisoft, then purchases aren’t really purchases, and you don’t have any right to expect your property to be there when you get back 🤦‍♀️

      You don’t own it, though. The same can happen on Steam, though they’re obviously not that shitty. The only store that lets you “own” games is GOG, that’s why you won’t find new games by shitty companies there.

      They should email all the game keys when they shutdown the account, user OWN those, its their property.
