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

"We certainly do not want you to lose access to your games or account"

So why do this? Corporate greed.

They’re making the case for pirating games even better.

What fucking morons

There are two publishers who have not received a penny from my household since around 2013: EA and Ubisoft. Every time I see an article about these two being baddies it just reaffirms my conclusion from over a decade ago. Never buy from these two publishers and you will live a happier existence.
