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.

It's annoying enough that Netflix removes my account and watched history, after I go a few months without the service. But I still deal with it a couple times a year. This... this makes me just want to never touch anything Ubisoft ever again.

Honestly I think I just have black flag on my goobysoft account and I haven't plaid it for so long I don't care if I loose my account, but if I ever want to play that game again and it's gone, I will pirate the shit out of it

That's an Assassin's Creed game, yeah? I don't know, I tried an AS game at one point, and just couldn't get into it. I was excited for The Division for awhile, then it released. I wanted to like Far Cry, but didn't like the mechanics. I really don't see anything in their recent catalog that I give two shits about.
