Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?

Some companies are terrified of that stop killing games perposal, because their buisness model depends on planned obsolesence.
 
Just went to the website and closed my account. It's not like i'd ever use it again anyway. Not even because of this. They havent made a good game in 15 years and it's nit like that's gonna change.
 
Dumb.

And, why do THEY get to set the terms anyway? How about us, the purchasers make our own terms that the publisher must abide by if they want our cash? :messenger_tears_of_joy:
 
They have had such a shit time in the last few years that you would almost forgive someone for feeling sorry for them.

And then you see this.

Not only is it the emptiest and stupidest threat I've seen in some time, the idea that they would ever take someone to court over that point and try to argue that with a straight face is very funny.

It also comes hot on the heels of Take2's recent contoversy over Borderlands games displaying the new EULA, so they have had a lesson in what not to do if you want to face public backlash. And yet they did it anyway.

Ubisoft are the architechts of their own demise operating with such efficiency that it seems intentional.
 
They can write what they want there in their EULA but luckily in the EU you can't sign away your national and EU rights. So, eat shit, Ubisoft.

My guess is, though, that this is for some weird legal reason for their advantage required to have it in there, so they can say, in some twisted and highly potential legal cases, "well, we told them to uninstall our product so it's not our fault that XYZ happened".

I gotta imagine this is somehow related to all the shit they've been facing regarding The Crew for the last few years, like they can say to the courts 'see, we even mandated in our EULA that games we don't support anymore need to be destroyed'.

Isn't it just a badly worded "you must delete the game and any backups thereof" boiler-plate statement?

Because that's not a new bit of (unenforceable) direction...

Can you do me a favour please?

If I'm on holiday when Ubisoft decide to terminate their EULAs can you let me know so that I can destroy all my copies please? I'm not getting sued because I missed the deadline :(
 
If they want me to destroy my copy then the reasonable cost for me to do so is what I paid for my copy, payable in advance.
 
All the pieces of shit that run this company need to be sent to hell. Period. And to all the people that support this company. I don't know what is wrong with you, I ready don't.
 
Just realized how much UbiClutter I would have in my house if not for the digital status quo on PC. Last time I moved house I called my brother and told him my Blu-ray collection was either getting picked up by him or going in the dumpster. He came and got them. Care to wager how many times since then I wished I still had them?
 
On the plus side, UBI stock is down to about 9 euros. It's most recent low was during tariff time months ago like most stocks. But most stocks rebounded hard. UBI is basically back down to April lows.
