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

It’s definitely still pirating. I think the quote uses the term “stealing”.
Also you can steal services. For example imagine hacking the payment panel on an automated carwash so you don’t have to pay.
But this isn’t about services like Game Pass - these were bought games.
It is service, which I agree is really shitty and shouldn’t be a thing. You’re buying access to a game, not a copy of the game.
Except that wouldn’t prevent anyone else using the service in a way normal usage wouldn’t. Stealing would. The same as me pirating a game doesn’t prevent anyone else from buying legitimate copy. Stealing would.
