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.

    It did entice me to actually log into my Ubisoft account because I couldn’t actually remember if I had any games from them or even why I had an account with them in the first place. I didn’t purchase anything through their store front, so I don’t particularly care. Unless they’re wiping your Steam games, I don’t really see the point, like who buys games off the Ubisoft storefront anyways? Hopefully they at least have some process for reinstating accounts if somebody still has an email receipt at least.
