This is just horrifying.

Ubisoft CONFIRMS they will delete your account & purchased games if you go inactive for too long!!!

Ubisoft… WTF?! Another example of why I’m becoming more & more concerned with the death of physical games.

Hey there. We just wanted to chime in that you can avoid the account closure by logging into your account within the 30 days (since receiving the email pictured) and selecting the Cancel Account Closure link contained in the email. We certainly do not want you to lose access to your games or account so if you have any difficulties logging in then please create a support case with us. >> ubisoft.com/help

The only thing thats stopping me from going fully to GOG is the fact that galaxy doesnt support linux right now.

I know GOG has a launcher, but I haven’t seen it in a long time. The links on my desktop just go straight to the game executables.

I’m mostly asking out of curiosity, but also maybe for anyone here that’d like to know. But if you buy Ubisoft games from GOG, like Prince of Persia, they won’t need the shitty Ubisoft launcher, right?

No sub-launchers on GOG. I think that would violate their no DRM stance.

Didn’t know that, thanks. I don’t think I’ve ever bought anything from there but I will if it means no sub-launchers.
