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.

I saw a great quote,

"It's not pirating if buying it isn't owning it".

[–] [email protected] 47 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's definitely still pirating. I think the quote uses the term "stealing".

Also you can steal services. For example imagine hacking the payment panel on an automated carwash so you don't have to pay.

But this isn't about services like Game Pass - these were bought games.

It is service, which I agree is really shitty and shouldn't be a thing. You're buying access to a game, not a copy of the game.

Piracy can’t be stealing if paying for it isn’t owning.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Piracy can't be stealing when the supreme court of the united states says it isn't stealing.

I like that quote a little better

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

And neither is it piracy.

piracy: robbery or other violent actions outside of the jurisdiction of any state.

Luckily, it can be understood as rebels/feighters for freedom too.
