This is why I'm a big supporter of physical media if possible. Sure the actual game may not be on there or something because it's too big or whatnot, however with what the hell is going on with digital companies in the modern videogaming world, yeah no they simply just can not be trusted much with the amount of power they hold. This includes but not limited to: Ubisoft, Steam, GOG, EA, Epic Games, etc.

Imagine buying something from these people after this.
Yes, sometimes I don't play a game for 5 years, but I bought and own it, and I know it'll be there when I come back to it.
....unless it's Ubisoft, then purchases aren't really purchases, and you don't have any right to expect your property to be there when you get back 🤦♀️
They should email all the game keys when they shutdown the account, user OWN those, its their property.

This is just a shame
People keep buying digital rentals. Just pirate the living shit out of them. Had to bring my hat back out cause all of this BS.
They said if you receive an email, it's 30 days of no activity once you receive the email. Apparently it's being sent to people who have been inactive > 1 year.
