What's the context of this?

Ubisoft is allegedly closing accounts that are inactive for a period of time, regardless if they have purchases on them or not.

I'm not sure if this is a recent change or if Ubi has come out with an official statement. This is just what I've seen going around today

It's been like this for years. I'm pretty sure I've gotten the inactive email back around 2014 and I just log back in.

It's a dumb policy from them and Origin, but it's nothing new. Far from it.

Honestly, I have hope that this is how the world gets better. All these companies who've been making a mess of everything on reputations they've long outlived have gotten too comfortable and too bold. A few Ubisofts and Twitters will be good practice for the bigger ones.

Maybe we'll even figure out that money only tells us where we go if we let it.

Misinformation that has since been debunked.

I don't really care about a corporation that makes the epitome of mediocre games, but let's criticize them for real things rather than fake things.
