Over the weekend, fans of Ubisoft games underwent a minor panic as a rumor spread that Ubisoft might be spontaneously deleting inactive Ubisoft accounts, permanently destroying digital game libraries if users didn't log on often enough. However, Ubisoft has now clarified that users' digital game libraries are safe.

In 2021, I got an email that said: “We have temporarily suspended your inactive Ubisoft account and will be closing it permanently in 30 days in accordance with our Terms of Use.” - And my account had two games at the time.

Just curious: Had you purchased those games, or had you claimed them for free as giveaways? If you purchased them, it appears to contradict Ubisoft’s statement in the article, so that would be meaningful to know.

Purchased! I had Steep and Star Trek Bridge Crew in my account at the time.

This was two years ago, mind, Ubis terms might have changed since then.
