      If your account is older than 6 months it’s dead, along with its games.

        Sure, but he shoots it when it’s less than 6 months?

          Yeah you’re right, that’s what the image shows. But I think they were going for aiming at less than 6, shot dead at more than 6.

        Companies don’t care about me and I do not care about them. Feels like a mutual agreement to me. That being said, no need to pirate right now, I just bought all the myst games. Awww yeee

      If you bought it once you should be legally allowed to pirate it. That is just common sense.

      You also have to somehow safely backup your pirates games. Otherwise they are gone as well some day.

    I don’t even like a majority of their games enough to want to pirate them. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    I am almost certain they are not actually doing this and it’s just some ploy to get people to login to their long dormant accounts. I haven’t logged into my account in around a decade, but I just did today and all the games I bought are still there (a whopping 2).

      I logged in for two reasons:

      1. I didn’t even know if I had an account

      2. If I have one do I have games on there

      Turns out I have an account and one game on there

    I’m something of a patient gamer, and my wife has all the Assassin’s Creed games. A couple of months ago I decided to play Black Flag, as I remember her enjoying it back when it came out.

    Got 46% of the way through the story, then a few weeks ago, completely out of the blue, Ubicunts pushed out a 2gb “update” for it, the sole purpose of which appears to have been to break it. So now I can’t finish it.

    I hate Ubisoft.

      Ubisoft is allegedly closing accounts that are inactive for a period of time, regardless if they have purchases on them or not.

      I’m not sure if this is a recent change or if Ubi has come out with an official statement. This is just what I’ve seen going around today

    well i guess no reason to come back for my ubisoft account after 5 years then… worst are the steam games that then spawn ubisoft launchers.

    But seriously, just make gaming a subscription service at this point…

    I’ll never buy an Ubisoft game, I remember when years ago their games installed spyware on the browser (found it on my Firefox) . Pox on whoever thought that was a good idea
