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 ๐Ÿคท

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

Steam accounts don't disappear. My dad passed away about a decade ago and he's still on my friends list, account unchanged.

Sorry for your loss. My younger brother passed away recently, I find myself browsing his steam profile sometimes.

Ubisoft accounts didn't disappear either. Until now, apparently.

@Kichae Yeah, but Ubisoft has a long history of sitting on the edge of anti-consumer. Valve hasn't entered that territory.
