There was a story about them deleting accounts with games, followed by articles saying it was only for accounts with no games.

So it was a non-story back then as well?

People going mad about this and it's complete non-issue.

But I still need the website to actually download the game my point is if GOG went down I would be in exactly the same situationm I have no way to get another copy of the game.

So it isn't any more convenient to me than Steam

I can only base this on my own government but I'd say about only a small fraction of the right wing party are full on Nazi's, the rest are just awful people but they're not evil. Although it is hard to tell because quite a lot in the greedy, which from a distance can't look the same.

Yeah, Lemmy has address to this by just having an incredibly glitchy algorithm (look at this post with five up votes from four months ago, it deserves to be on the front page). No one can game it because no one understands it.

People throw around the word too much, there are actual Nazis around and we need to reserve the term just for their special brand of evil. Otherwise the phrase gets so watered down as to essentially become meaningless.

Otherwise they are just rightwing dipshits.

I think that ship has unfortunately sailed.

Even if I buy a game on Steam I don't technically own it. If the game was ever deleted from their servers and then I lost my local copy either because I uninstalled it or because I got a new computer, I would have no way to get my game back, and I doubt that Valve would refund me.

But some games literally don't have physical releases, even if I did have an optical drive. So what option do I have?

The only real solution to all of this is a changing copyright law that says that once a piece of software no longer becomes commercially available through legitimate means it becomes legal to pirate it. But that would require politicians around the world to a, understand computers and b, not being 900,000 years old.

Yeah everyone else can see the sentence as it is. It's just an instance thing.

They say they might and they say that they will email you before they do.

About them deleting your games library because I can't see any information on that anywhere.

If you read the page link to it doesn't say anywhere that they will delete your old game. OP is being disingenuous.

This is such a non issue.

Literally from the link that was posted

We may also close long-term inactive accounts to maintain our database. You will be notified by email if we begin the process of closing your inactive account.

If your account was flagged as inactive and you would like to keep using it, you can cancel the closure of your Ubisoft account.

Did you even read it.

They are not closing your account randomly they're closing old accounts as is required by law, you are wand that this will occur and given time to log in and prevent it from happening.

And there isn't anywhere on that page where they say they will delete your old game so I don't know why that bit comes from.

In that they are present at all.
