As if there weren't enough reasons to skip Ubisoft games, lol. Speedrunning their own collapse.
Ubisoft's Updated EULA Demands Users to 'destroy' Games They Stop Supporting

But if the game is not supported and can't run because of the servers being closed what good will it make to destroy physical discs? They are useless anyway.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Just spitballing, but this is the crux of the The Crew related class action lawsuit:
The EULA wording looks like it's there as a safety net against claims like the above.

That's me too, after they took The Crew from people's library, I'll only play their games on Game Pass or similar services if I ever feel like playing anything from them, which is almost never the case for the past 8 years or so

"Uninstall and destroy all copies of the product in your possession."
1. Are these people fucking retarded?
2. Do they actually expect anyone to do this?
3. How on earth did they think this would be a good idea?
4. How on earth did they think they wouldn't get backlash from this?

It's real. Go to https://www.ubisoft.com/legal/documents/eula/en-US and ctrl+f "destroy".

Can't the EU fuck them up for this kind of abusive clause?

People haven't read EULA's before?
License is granted and can be revoked if you break the terms of the agreement (you know, the one you clicked past without reading). If the agreement is broken you must destroy (read: delete) the program? Not sure why people are up in arms about that, especially since I bet almost noone in this thread actually read WHY it can be terminated in Clause 1.....
Try reading MS or PS EULA's, they all have terminate clauses.
I mean hell, MS even has a clause that sunsets you out of the license for not using it lol, which is about deauthorising devices if not used. (Video based not gaming).

So much retardation in a single videogame company. Specially when they are not in their best moment.

Couldn't name a more easier gaming company to avoid its dogshit products even if my life depended on it.

Is that Ubisoft's answer to the Save Game thing going on in Europe? If you buy, and we stop supporting, you must destroy it....i.e there's no need for you to maintain something you're supposed to have destroyed or uninstalled.

You've clearly missed the entire point of the thread...
Everyone already knows that you only have a "license" to play the game... the difference is, Microsoft, Sony or even Nintendo aren't telling you to destroy said games you bought.

Digital license, destroy = delete. Physical copies are different. Mind you the OP leaves out a heap of context.
edit: hmm read the full text again. You are right, they say uninstall and destroy, meaning physical. Some lawyer being a lawyer is my guess. Ubisoft are plenty bad enough without thinking that suits sat down in a meeting and hashed out the wording of a EULA.

I considered pirating a Ubisoft game now just out of spite, but then I realized they don't have any games worth playing.

Apparently that metroidvania Prince of Persia from last year(?) is really good. Have heard multile times its the best thing Ubisoft has put out in years.
I still can't bring myself to give Ubisoft money though.

You'd better. Yves will be over to your house tomorrow afternoon to check.I still have my physical copy of The Crew, so I guess I'm in danger since I've got no plans to "destroy" it anytime soon.

Gamers did this to themselves. Corporations prodded to see how far they could push ways to take money and give the customer no value. This is one more step.
Most people ate it up. The microtransactions, the cost of each digital sprite outfit, subscriptions, paying for products that can be wiped away by a keyboard stroke.
They seen the defenders saying, the companies are helping us, microtransactions are good, instead of telling them with wallets that we should be earning these items in game, etc.
The same folks who cry about gamers that complain about microtransactions, subscriptions, saving games that people spent hard earned money on will be saying, " how did this happen", yet again.
No one to blame but the moron in the mirror, that keeps giving free money you worked for to these companies that give you no value in return.
Anti-consumerism will keep being pushed further and further because the have realized most of the gaming community is on knee pads with their mouth wide open for whatever they have in store for them.
Why I haven't bought a game since the release of Elden Ring and have no subscriptions to anything in life.

Yup.
Also the same people who complained to high hell about digital games being shit, while having a physical disc is best ever. Fast forward and suddenly % of console games bought digitally 20%, 30%, 40%.... I think it's now about 75 or 80%. Turns out all those benefits of a disc are negated because it's better to press a button to change games than get off their ass for 10 seconds and change a disc.
And $70 too. Big uproar $70 suck. But they still buy games and it became standard. $80 games (Mario World) are the devil. Just give it a year and $80 will be the norm and gamers still buy up. Just watch.

Litmus test and every other developers and publisher are watching.
If they can take your money right up till server cut off, that will make them tons of of money and then just cut it, while watching their customer base eat the money they gave them with no product in the end on the customers side.

Sony's PSN terms
"10.9. Except for the rights expressly granted herein, SIE, its affiliates and its licensors reserve all rights, interests, and remedies in connection with PSN and PSN Content. Upon termination of this agreement, your Account, or license to any Content, you will immediately cease use of the Content and delete or destroy any copies."
Just a boilerplate legalese term. Nothing to see here.
Wait a minute.... did
