Ubisoft will delete your account if you haven't logged for some time (Even if you owned games in it) (gamerant.com)

Ubisoft claims they do not want their players to lose access to their accounts but it's pretty clear they do want to (so they can repurchase probably), otherwise they would not implement such feature 🤷

PS: Feels good I didnt buy any Ubisoft (and EA for that matter) in the recent years that requires their stupid launchers

Another reason I have the company blocked on steam.

If I buy your game and after the download I have to ping your servers through a client to run the .exe I do NOT own that game.

That's about when I initiate the refund and block all companies listed in production.

Heroes of Might and Magic for me. Bought it, installed, saw I needed a 3rd party launcher, went through the hassle to create an account, got spammed with upsale bullshit once, Uninstalled and demanded refund. Steam was like "ok, fair enough"

Haven't bought a 3rd party launcher game since, except GTA which I didn't really understand that's what I was doing.
