EA's Origin closes your account after two years of inactivity since it exists, not sadly Ubisoft dose the same shit! :/
This is why Steam got the lion's share. Ubisoft is mad disrespectful.
here I read they do not erase account like this. https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/help/account/article/closure-of-inactive-ubisoft-accounts/000079595 where is the truth?

Sounds like a great way to get sued.
This is kind of my biggest fear with all these digital games platforms. I have over 2100 games over most of the platforms, it just became so easy to finally be able to get all the games I grew up salivating over. What's to stop Valve or GOG suddenly "having" to make similar, or competely new changes of unbeknownst fuckery due to pressure from the spooky all-knowing investors?

It's always ethical to pirate Ubisoft games
Good thing I was already boycotting Ubisoft for years.
lol
lmao
I've heard they are doing this to comply with things like GDPR. If that's the case, and they are deleting accounts to not be storing personal information longer than allowed, then before closing your account, they should email you an encrypted bundle of your data that you could later send back to them to restore your account. It wouldn't be against those laws if they send it to you to keep... and it would provide you with a path back to full restoration.
I don't have any games in my uplay account.. but I think they're still on Steam, thankfully.
This proves why we need to regulate that digital or not, games we purchase are considered our property. Not at the mercy of deletion for zero reason. Otherwise, pirate away for all I care guys. If they treat us like this, fuck'em and their sales.
