If you purchased a fucking game and they take it away because you didn't play it for X period of time, that is absolutely fucking illegal. Like, regardless of current practices, that is fucking illegal. You own what you buy, and everyone who says otherwise is just trying to scam you.

Well thatβs a song I havenβt heard in years
And companies wonder why no one wants to use their shit over steam, case in point
Guess it's time to pirate the games I legally own and bought π€·
30 days is not nearly enough time for me to see an alert sent to my spam email lol. I probably log in to my Ubisoft once a year, at most. This is ridiculous.
Wow, they'll save kilobytes doing this.
Kilobytes!
I never buy anything related to Ubishit. That company is the combination of greed, laziness, and bad decisions.
I am glad you brought this up. I'd better log into Steam, GOG, and that other one or my games might go bye bye. That would piss me off royally.
Steam accounts don't disappear. My dad passed away about a decade ago and he's still on my friends list, account unchanged.
Sorry for your loss. My younger brother passed away recently, I find myself browsing his steam profile sometimes.
Ubisoft accounts didn't disappear either. Until now, apparently.
@Kichae Yeah, but Ubisoft has a long history of sitting on the edge of anti-consumer. Valve hasn't entered that territory.
What a classy action. If only there were some process to get reimbursed for this consumer-hostile act of theft
