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.

Yeah, was just thinking I should log in sometime. If it's gone, I got it free off epic anyway, so no big loss, but also a better reason to sail them digital season.

If you got it from Epic then you probably still have it with Epic. You'll just no longer have any achievements or playtime stats from Ubisoft.

At least, I hope.

As if I give a fuck about anything on Ubisoft’s platform. Honestly it’s an annoyance that makes me never want to pay for their games again. I bought Assassins Creed Origins on Steam and somehow I still have to fucking use Ubisoft’s launcher. Fuck them. Great game, but fuck them anyway.

Yeah that's how I felt about EA after buying Jedi Fallen Order on Steam. The bastards require not only the information from your PC at all times, but the information Steam has about you also.

Fair enough I suppose. It's been so long since I played whatever it is, I can't even remember what game it even is. All I know is the Ubisoft launcher is taking up space.

I will say, it could be someone hit a wrong button. My account isn't available because I've got 2fa apparently, but it's still there. I doubt even a big game company would be so stupid as to automatically delete a paying customer's account.
