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.

Ha! I deleted my own account before they could, jokes on you Ubi!! Jokes aside, fuck ubisoft. I primarily buy games from GOG. Recommended everyone to do the same ๐Ÿ–

I'm mostly asking out of curiosity, but also maybe for anyone here that'd like to know. But if you buy Ubisoft games from GOG, like Prince of Persia, they won't need the shitty Ubisoft launcher, right?

That is correct!
