Maybe related to these changes, maybe due to something else, I don't know, but a Ubisoft game I have installed through Steam (Far Cry New Dawn) stopped launching for me. I tried verifying game files through Steam (more than once), but that by itself didn't help. What worked however was uninstalling Ubisoft Connect, then verifying game files again through Steam (which sadly installs Ubisoft Connect again), then launching the game (which initiated a Ubisoft Connect update for me). Hope that helps someone.

There are two publishers who have not received a penny from my household since around 2013: EA and Ubisoft. Every time I see an article about these two being baddies it just reaffirms my conclusion from over a decade ago. Never buy from these two publishers and you will live a happier existence.
People keep buying digital rentals. Just pirate the living shit out of them. Had to bring my hat back out cause all of this BS.
have some dlc there. had. no big deal, came with Assassin's Creed on PS3 I think. gave it to kids years ago. $20 maybe. got too old for games. can barely type
Makes me wonder, how much data does it take to hold every users account info and library details? Not the games themselves, no profile pictures or anything, just the data that they must have in order too know who owns what. That has to be a huge consideration when you build an online store, right?
Did they run out of space? Are they deleting "old" accounts to free up servers for the absolute flood of new Ubisoft accounts that they're massively inundated with every day?
But seriously, what would an actual real world reason be for needing to delete accounts after X amount of time?
