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.

Well guess I won’t be “renting” any games from them then. If I buy something it means I own it, in perpetuity. In fact I’m fairly certain Europe has laws against this, though Ubisoft will probably just have to pay a “fine” that is more a gentle slap on the wrist. We need to stop fining these companies, it does not stop them from breaking the law repeatedly. Stop arresting pirates, start arresting CEO’s.
If the EU slaps you with a fine, it’s usually not a slap on the wrist but something that seriously stings.
Except for the big guys. Didn’t Facebook have a portion on the side, for the expected fines? They still madr more money. If fines are just part of the business calculation, they don’t sting enough.
