If only we could know!

Why does the sign flip?
I wasn't the one who made this meme so idk. It was probably just a small mistake by the original creator.

Piracy? No it's Surprise Ownership!
😎
and it's quite ethical
Companies don't care about me and I do not care about them. Feels like a mutual agreement to me. That being said, no need to pirate right now, I just bought all the myst games. Awww yeee
I don't even like a majority of their games enough to want to pirate them. 🤷🏻♂️
What is the upside to alienating your customers?
White wales will always pay and in high amounts. They’re more profitable than recurring customers.
But they delete accounts after 4 years of inactivity, not 6 months.
I haven't touched my Ubisoft account since 2013 before today. It's still there with all my purchases intact.
I am almost certain they are not actually doing this and it's just some ploy to get people to login to their long dormant accounts. I haven't logged into my account in around a decade, but I just did today and all the games I bought are still there (a whopping 2).

Mine are still there after over a year of not touching my account.
I feel like I missed something and need to try logging into the ubi account for the first time in a while. I don’t really wanna buy anything but if they delete the shit I own Im gonna be super pissed
It's apparently only for accounts that haven't bought/received anything. So empty libraries.
People going mad about this and it's complete non-issue.
Why are people getting outraged for empty accounts (with no games ever) getting deleted
Because sensational news headlines/articles
Which is still less worse than people getting outraged over headlines instead of reading the articles
It's not just empty accounts, according to one user
according to one user
Which does not make a static nor proof, more so since Ubisoft said they will delete just empty accounts
According to one person, that likely made it up for fake internet points.
Most likely just pick up by a bot in error, sometimes that happens.. sounds more like the exception rather than the rule
Alternatively would people do that? Just go onto the internet and lie.
I’m something of a patient gamer, and my wife has all the Assassin’s Creed games. A couple of months ago I decided to play Black Flag, as I remember her enjoying it back when it came out.
Got 46% of the way through the story, then a few weeks ago, completely out of the blue, Ubicunts pushed out a 2gb “update” for it, the sole purpose of which appears to have been to break it. So now I can’t finish it.
I hate Ubisoft.
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

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.
You would think that Ubisoft would try to keep their remaining customers. I can’t remember the last time I’ve pirated a titel of Ubisoft
