Ubisoft tells players to “destroy” games when online support ends (www.dexerto.com)

Ubisoft has updated its End User License Agreement, and it’s instructing its users to remove and destroy their games completely should the title be taken offline.

Essentially, the EULA has given Ubisoft free rein on its ability to stop supporting a game, writing: “You and Ubisoft may terminate this EULA at any time, for any reason. Termination by Ubisoft will be effective upon notice to you or termination of your Ubisoft account, or at the time of Ubisoft’s decision to discontinue offering and/or supporting the Product.”

Interestingly, this isn’t the only company that has the same terms in its EULA. The likes of Capcom, Sega, and even the Oblivion Remaster have the same clause in their terms and conditions, meaning the stipulation isn’t unique to Ubisoft.

The best way to solve all this is simple. Let them delist games without providing the resources to users, just as Ubisoft wants.

And everytime they do, make them give a full refund of the game. Hell even a partial refund would probably work. Those greedy fucks.

They’ll figure out a solution for local gameplay and self hosting servers pretty damn fast.
