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.

    Sony did this to me I’d bought quite a few vita games digitally. Left it alone a few months and then saw an email where they said to keep the account log in now. Tried to log in but they’d already wiped it.

    Not falling for digital again.

      It’s probably different on consoles but on PC buying a “physical” copy these days is usually just a box with a code in it to download the game, no discs anymore.

      Thanks. I’ve been considering buying more console games digitally. Going to hang onto physical as long as possible.
