Ubisoft claims they do not want their players to lose access to their accounts but it's pretty clear they do want to (so they can repurchase probably), otherwise they would not implement such feature 🤷

PS: Feels good I didnt buy any Ubisoft (and EA for that matter) in the recent years that requires their stupid launchers

I am glad you brought this up. I'd better log into Steam, GOG, and that other one or my games might go bye bye. That would piss me off royally.

Steam accounts don't disappear. My dad passed away about a decade ago and he's still on my friends list, account unchanged.

Sorry for your loss. My younger brother passed away recently, I find myself browsing his steam profile sometimes.

Ubisoft accounts didn't disappear either. Until now, apparently.

@Kichae Yeah, but Ubisoft has a long history of sitting on the edge of anti-consumer. Valve hasn't entered that territory.

Curious, what games did your dad own?

What a classy action. If only there were some process to get reimbursed for this consumer-hostile act of theft

Start going through their garages and taking things you don't think they've used in a while. Seems like a fair way to resolve it.
