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.

Eventually, they’re going to stop supporting that, and we all kind of accept and agree to that.

The hell we do. I’ve stopped buying games that disappear when some server somewhere goes offline.

You accept it by participating. You don’t participate, therefore the comment wasn’t referring to you.

I was simultaneously saying that we don’t “all” participate, as well as encouraging others to do the one thing we can to stop the practice.

The comment was referring to people who do participate though. If I make a comment about Australians Americans aren’t supposed to comment their disagreement
