In a move sure to draw ire from players, Ubisoft reveals that users who don’t sign into their Ubisoft account could lose access to their games.

In a response to a post from the AntiDRM Twitter account, Ubisoft Support has clarified that users who don’t sign in to their account can potentially lose access to Ubisoft games they’ve purchased. The initial post from AntiDRM featured a snippet of an e-mail sent to a user from Ubisoft notifying them that their account had been temporarily suspended due to inactivity and warning that it would be closed permanently in 30 days. Responding to the ominous e-mail, the Ubisoft Support Twitter account stated “We certainly do not want you to lose access to your games or account” and noted that account closure could be avoided by signing in to the account again.

You only pay to use it, not to own it

Similar moves come from microsoft and google

In the end, you’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy

In the end, you’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy until you pirate it years later after it’s been taken away from you

That’s not what own nothing and be happy refers to.

It’s a little tidbit that was taken out of context by easily led morons who believe that there is some grandiose world scheme being perpetrated to ensure that us plebs never get to own anything.

The same morons will tell you that the people in charge of these grandiose schemes are also too stupid to ever get anything done.

If that sounds familiar to you, you’re not alone

Oh jfc. Yeah, I know what you’re talking about now. I will say that recently I’m not too happy with the amount of things being sold as a service instead of sold outright. But I’m not going any further than that.
