Ubisoft claims they do not want their players to lose access to their accounts but it's pretty clear they do want to (so they can repurchase probably), otherwise they would not implement such feature 🤷

PS: Feels good I didnt buy any Ubisoft (and EA for that matter) in the recent years that requires their stupid launchers

I guess this marks the start of game rental companies like Steam using capitalist tricks to make you ~~re-buy~~ re-rent for maximum profit.

That's the scummy thing, because Ubisoft is trying to blur the lines between owning a license and renting one.

Fucking scumbags.
