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.

Hey there. We just wanted to chime in that you can avoid the account closure by logging into your account within the 30 days (since receiving the email pictured) and selecting the Cancel Account Closure link contained in the email. We certainly do not want you to lose access to your games or account so if you have any difficulties logging in then please create a support case with us. >> ubisoft.com/help

They said if you receive an email, it's 30 days of no activity once you receive the email. Apparently it's being sent to people who have been inactive > 1 year.

Ubisoft is a C tier developer/publisher who generally doesn't get my dollars, although they have had some one-off hits in the last decade (Wildlands, Riders Republic, Anno games). I couldn't be bothered to shell out $80 for the latest AC or Farcry copy and paste slog. Seems their servers are getting full. Doesn't really inspire confidence in them as a service provider.

This is just a shame

There are two publishers who have not received a penny from my household since around 2013: EA and Ubisoft. Every time I see an article about these two being baddies it just reaffirms my conclusion from over a decade ago. Never buy from these two publishers and you will live a happier existence.

People keep buying digital rentals. Just pirate the living shit out of them. Had to bring my hat back out cause all of this BS.

I don't have any games in my uplay account.. but I think they're still on Steam, thankfully.
