Thieves! Just cause I don’t play those games, doesn’t means I don’t own them.
No, you don’t own them. You have a licence for usage, which is revokable. One of the many problems within eaas (everything as a service).
“How to make sure i will never return again”
I’m not sure what other uses their strategy has - storage for account data is dirt cheap?
I assume that they already decided that such accounts aren’t profitable anyways and that management and migration isn’t worth the hassle.
Thanks for the heads-up! Turns out my account wasn’t deleted, but the email address I used for U-Play did get deleted for inactivity*, and so now I’m locked out of my Ubisoft account 🤡 Meh. I’ll deal with this tomorrow.
* deleting accounts after only 6 months of inactivity, Tutanota? Really?
I would never buy from them anymore. I am fairly certain that explains why I could not access my games from years ago.
If I was nearly as in to gaming as I was back in the day I would dust off and raise my jolly old flag.
Is this legal?
No idea
remember when buying something with money meant you owned it and no one could take it from you?
Man, I really love the videogames nowadays but I just do not like at all the companies behind them in the modern videogame industry, especially in the digital age of gaming where nowadays the most convenient option for people is to simply just download them. Nowadays it’s very difficult to trust companies to not enact pain in the butt policies like these that are very anti-consumerism.
