Ubisoft claims they do not want their players to lose access to their accounts but it’s pretty clear they do want to (so they can repurchase probably), otherwise they would not implement such feature 🤷

PS: Feels good I didnt buy any Ubisoft (and EA for that matter) in the recent years that requires their stupid launchers

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.

What a classy action. If only there were some process to get reimbursed for this consumer-hostile act of theft

Start going through their garages and taking things you don’t think they’ve used in a while. Seems like a fair way to resolve it.

Yeah! They really haven’t driven their cars for a few hours so it only makes sense that we remove their access to them

Steam accounts don’t disappear. My dad passed away about a decade ago and he’s still on my friends list, account unchanged.

Curious, what games did your dad own?

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.

Sorry for your loss. My younger brother passed away recently, I find myself browsing his steam profile sometimes.

I never buy anything related to Ubishit. That company is the combination of greed, laziness, and bad decisions.

I had an Ubisoft account. I had the original Guildwars. Something screwed up, and they just deleted the game from my account.

I then had someone hack my account and try to steal it. The Ubisoft help desk actually got that sorted. Probably because I was online when it happened and instantly saw the email notification that the hackers changed my email.

Anyway. I changed my password to some super long phrase with numbers and capital letters and such, then never logged in again.

When was Guild Wars ever an Ubisoft game. Don’t remember NCSoft / Arenanet ever being affiliated with Ubisoft

I had thought it was…

Maybe I was forced to make the ubisoft account for a different game?

Anyway. When my account was hacked, there were no games on it, so I said fuck it and never logged in again.
