Well guess I won’t be “renting” any games from them then. If I buy something it means I own it, in perpetuity. In fact I’m fairly certain Europe has laws against this, though Ubisoft will probably just have to pay a “fine” that is more a gentle slap on the wrist. We need to stop fining these companies, it does not stop them from breaking the law repeatedly. Stop arresting pirates, start arresting CEO’s.
Except for the big guys. Didn’t Facebook have a portion on the side, for the expected fines? They still madr more money. If fines are just part of the business calculation, they don’t sting enough.
€1.2B fine and the threat of 4% of their turnover as fine if they don’t comply with the EU regulations. The EU does not fuck around and is not completely bought like the FTC.

If the EU slaps you with a fine, it’s usually not a slap on the wrist but something that seriously stings.
