Another reason to not buy digital games.

If I liked their games, I'd be quite upset, I'm sure.

This is why I'm a big supporter of physical media if possible. Sure the actual game may not be on there or something because it's too big or whatnot, however with what the hell is going on with digital companies in the modern videogaming world, yeah no they simply just can not be trusted much with the amount of power they hold. This includes but not limited to: Ubisoft, Steam, EA, Epic Games, etc.

EDIT: Yeah GOG is fine apologies for that, however the well majority of games in the digital world are simply just licenses that these companies have control of.

More garbage decisions from a garbage company

here I read they do not erase account like this. https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/help/account/article/closure-of-inactive-ubisoft-accounts/000079595 where is the truth?

It's always ethical to pirate Ubisoft games

Don't buy games you don't own

Why do so many people, usually children, think digital games are a good idea? Absolute scam, and it's only going to get worse. Next gen of consoles will probably be all digital. You will lose access to games for seemingly no reason, everything will be $70, no trading, no selling, and no one but the big guys making a dime from the sale.

Please shop at your local game stores, don't buy digital. You are not only ripping yourself off, but helping to enable a future where you don't even really own the games you buy. Look at ubisoft right now. You bought those games. You own them. They're literally stealing games just to try and force you to buy another copy.

Con artists.

Not surprised, coming from Ubisoft. Didn't they try taking down the DRM servers for some of their games, effectively making them impossible to use, until public outcry forced them to relent?

I boycott ubisoft and EA. They can both go suck a lemon.

Thanks for the heads up, 10 year old account was almost gone, phew!

EA's Origin closes your account after two years of inactivity since it exists, not sadly Ubisoft dose the same shit! :/

Makes me wonder, how much data does it take to hold every users account info and library details? Not the games themselves, no profile pictures or anything, just the data that they must have in order too know who owns what. That has to be a huge consideration when you build an online store, right?

Did they run out of space? Are they deleting "old" accounts to free up servers for the absolute flood of new Ubisoft accounts that they're massively inundated with every day?

But seriously, what would an actual real world reason be for needing to delete accounts after X amount of time?

Sounds like a great way to get sued.

A part of me wants to start spreading a #PirateUbisoftGames hashtag.

...but another part of me doesn't want to bother because it's just Ubisoft games lol

have some dlc there. had. no big deal, came with Assassin's Creed on PS3 I think. gave it to kids years ago. $20 maybe. got too old for games. can barely type

Sony did this to me I'd bought quite a few vita games digitally. Left it alone a few months and then saw an email where they said to keep the account log in now. Tried to log in but they'd already wiped it.

Not falling for digital again.

This proves why we need to regulate that digital or not, games we purchase are considered our property. Not at the mercy of deletion for zero reason. Otherwise, pirate away for all I care guys. If they treat us like this, fuck'em and their sales.

Does this apply to games purchased on steam as well? Bs
