This is why you don't pay extra to play early, and you don't preorder Ubisoft games ever.

If you haven't figured that out yet, that's on you.

*dont buy ubisoft games ever until they are on sale 75% off

Sometimes don't even bother pirating it, waste of bandwidth.

Never buy them EVER: If you don't sign in to your ubisoft account for a year, they delete your catalog. The things you paid them for. They remove.

If buying isn't owning...

So it's been over a year since I've played AC: Valhalla on Uplay or Uconnect whatever it's called now.

Are you saying I won't be able to play the game I paid $70 for a couple years ago, if the feeling hits me?

ETA: just looked it up, and apparently if you bought something with said Ubi account, they won't delete your shit.

"If you bought something".

and buying it on steam counts as buying it on ubisoft?

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I bought Valhalla on the Ubisoft launcher, so I should be good.

Ah yes, the classic, "it won't effect me so I'm ok with what ever abuse."

How pitiful.
