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.

      I saw a great quote,

      “It’s not pirating if buying it isn’t owning it”.

        It’s definitely still pirating. I think the quote uses the term “stealing”.

          Also you can steal services. For example imagine hacking the payment panel on an automated carwash so you don’t have to pay.

              It is service, which I agree is really shitty and shouldn’t be a thing. You’re buying access to a game, not a copy of the game.

        Piracy can’t be stealing if paying for it isn’t owning.

      Don’t feel bad about pirating AAA titles. See, the creatives and people that actually put work into the game have already been paid - usually at least. There are cases like Bethesda, who stole work from their composer - and so you’re not taking any profits from the people that matter.

      Any money you’d pay to license a game would mostly just go to shareholders and greedy execs.

        Yeah so their studio gets downsized, closed or merged. The big companies don’t care about the people. Tech lost 10k dev jobs last year, plenty of talent out there desperate.

          And with the advent of AI tools and such much more work will be expected from fewer people. It’s a cutthroat industry that chews up passionate workers and spits them out when it’s done abusing them. The big companies definitely deserve to crash, and if a little bit of piracy can help induce that then I’m even more for it.

      Yes but then again I’d be pirating Ubisoft games. Ain’t got time for that bloated crap.
