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.

    Ubisoft certainly is a dreadful company, and their actions further cement my concerns about the future of gaming as a whole. Here are a few reasons why:

    1. They constantly push microtransactions and loot boxes in their games, even on single-player titles like “The Division” and “For Honor”. This practice has been shown to be highly predatory towards players who may not have the financial means to support such practices. It’s disheartening that Ubisoft continues to profit off of people’s addictions and lack of funds.

    2. Their customer service is notoriously terrible, with many users reporting wait times of hours or even days just to get a response to an issue. With how much money they make from their games, it’s unacceptable that they don’t have enough staff to handle customer queries in a timely manner.

    3. They regularly implement always-online DRM measures, which can cause problems for players who have issues connecting to the server or experiencing other technical issues. This makes it difficult for some players to enjoy the full experience of the game they paid for.

    4. They regularly delay or outright cancel planned expansions or DLC content, leaving fans high and dry without any resolution to the issues they were promised. This shows a blatant disregard for their customers and their investment in the game.

    5. They have been known to use legal threats to silence criticism from consumers who voice their dissatisfaction with certain aspects of their games or business practices. This kind of behavior is unbecoming of a company that claims to prioritize the player experience.

    Overall, Ubisoft’s actions show a complete lack of regard for their customers and a willingness to exploit them at every turn. If this trend continues, it could spell the end for the gaming industry as we know it today. I hope that more people become aware of these practices so that we can work towards holding companies like Ubisoft accountable for their actions. In conclusion, Ubisoft is a terrible company that does not deserve our support or money. We should all boycott them until they change their ways and start treating their customers with respect and dignity. Let’s make a difference and stand up against these predatory practices! Thank you for bringing this issue to light.
