Selling things with no warranty is perfectly legal.

You seems unaware that most countries have consumer protection laws. They cover mandatory warranty, health and security protocols (for physical stuff) and all sort of laws against planned obsolescence, fair competition etc...etc.

Just don’t buy from Ubisoft! It’s easy!

If you're unaware that Ubisoft is going against consumer laws... well, of course you say so. Make yourself a question. If it's perfectly legal for Ubisoft to "shut down" phisical videogames you bought in the store: why isn't everybody doing so?

Because people would stop buying their games!

"Because people would stop buying their games!" [makes] "it’s perfectly legal"?

That's your logic?
