here I read they do not erase account like this. https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/help/account/article/closure-of-inactive-ubisoft-accounts/000079595 where is the truth?
That's expressed weaselly as fuck "We don't normally do it on Tuesdays, but if WE FEEL LIKE IT, we might do it to you, but we'll notify you first!"
Fuck you Ubisoft with a rusty rake dipped in radioactive acid. You remove my products, I'm requesting a chargeback via my credit card provider despite them being close to ten years old old. JUST FOR THE FUCK OF IT. Because you know what? If you're burning the bridge, I'm burning it extra hard. And yeah, if they get hit with enough of those chargebacks in a short amount of time, it's going to trip fraud activity with the CC providers and that .. oooh that's not going to be fun at all. Not even a little bit.
I doubt the term is 100 years since people are getting notified about it now and Ubisoft isn't that old. Either way I don't see how this is anything more than a cash grab. What does it cost them to store 1KB of account information?
