Uplay can delete your account for inactivity?

[Incarnate]

Apparently according to their terms of service, Ubisoft might decide to nullify your account for any reason they want, including not logging onto Uplay for six months. And you don't get any refunds.

There was a rep from the company on the forums somewhere and they basically acknowledged it was real.

So if I buy a Ubisoft game on Steam than it's safe or can they still wipe it out of existence? Because I'm sure as hell not buying directly from them.

It doesn't really matter over here. If UK court decide something is unfair or unreasonable, a contract is worthless. They will tear it up.

They ban S&M and face sitting porn over there. I doubt they care that much about civil liberties.

[Castyles]

Thanks for the answers. This sucks.

Talk about injustice...

The first thing that comes to mind when discussing civil liberties is the right to watch people sit on each other's faces. RIP freedom.

The ban on certain types of porn was about dictating morality, also so they could gather your personal information to give you a porn-watching license. The UK does not give a crap about your rights.

If i payed for the game it doesn't matter when I last "logged in" the game should still be there but maybe delete the login and have to make a new login as long as its lined to the old email. if I go buy a disc they can't take the game from me for not playing just make me create a new login. Digital should be no different. I guess that just means I won;t buy any ubisoft games on PC. bad business. I have an extensive PC, xbox game pass, and ps 4 library that I have spent at least $1k on easy ( I rarely buy new games too expensive for how shoddy they put them out at release.)

i'm steering clear of anything related to unisoft. toxic company, toxic service.

[🍋 Lemonfed 🍋]

From everything I've heard about Ubisoft recently , I think I might hesitate to buy any more games from them.

I'm also thinking about other things then the term of services.

i wonder if any of you actually read any of the terms of conditions of any of these platforms? uplay, steam, origin, epic, here is something what all the platform T&C's will have, before "some of you" go on the offensive and start attacking me (go read the T&C's if you dont believe me) states that you do not own, or buy ownership of any game, you buy a licence which allows you to use it, some and when i say "some" i do mean "some" of the platform even states that the licence can be cancelled/revoked of any game at any time, if they see fit and they dont to give you reason. Also all of the platforms also talk about closing of accounts but its in the unlikely event, say completely company closes type or if you violate the T&C's of the platform, I'm mean i was wonder about if other platforms can delete/cancel/suspend a account for inactive so i came across that. so in a way every company and platforms is pretty much greedy

[GuRu Asaki]

We need to start combining these Threads together...
There is already one talking about the Policy Agreement on STEAM...

Also, yes... You also forget your Account can be Deleted or Banned for being AFK in a Game, too...
Not Joking, it's really quite Bad, & really quite harsh on the Customers...

That’s actually not true drm free games you do own and even if you have a license for a game you should have rights.Its just because of the drm what takes away ownership that’s why games aren’t worth the full price that way

I don't ever Read Terms Of Agreements, unless i'm actually pushed into Reading them...

Here are some of the Terms of Agreements i've read over the past few Years
that may shock people who never actually read them, nor take them seriously...

Most of these Agreements were written a while ago in their Agreements, &
I have no idea if the Agreements still show this Info written... Also, these are
not word, for word what was written? I'm not copying text, i'm only posting what
I remember reading in my head... But it is enough to get the Point Across...

-----------------------------------------

Unusual Sudden Non-Likable Changes:

- IMVU = Prevents you from Suing the Company of any claims, what so ever, & they can Sue you under any circomstances, & Delete your Account, for whatever reason they feel like, as well as also changing their Agreement at anytime they want, even in the middle of a court case hearing... By doing this, they could even further protect themselves from being Sued...

- IMVU = Allows Customers to provide Evidence of Scams, Hacking, & such to Support, & if correctly done without even ever speaking / texting the Scamer, Hacker, you can get the Users Banned, or Booted, or Kicked from the Service... But saying anything to them, voids all Evidence shown, & even not saying anything at all, does not even mean you'll win the Debate over a Scam, Hack, or Whatever...

- Sony PlayStation Network = Prevents you from Suing the Company of any claims, what so ever, & they can Sue you under any circomstances, & Delete your Account, for whatever reason they feel like, as well as also changing their Agreement at anytime they want, even in the middle of a court case hearing... By doing this, they could even further protect themselves from being Sued... (Except a Flaw was in the Agreement for being Sued over Removal of "Other OS")

- Sony PlayStation Network = There was an Agreement for the use of a Platform (I forget the Name of it), but this Platform allowed College Students to use your Console for Research, & Store their work on your Console, while your not using it... When your not using it, you can brows the Web, look at News Articles, & such, & such using this Platform... When you Sign-In on the Platform, a Light Beacon apears on the Earth Globe, indicating that your allowing College Students Freely being granted onto your Console... What is strange about this, though? Is that there was never any mention of what this Research was, nor what it was for, & no mention of how it would benefit the School from using your Console to get that Research... There was never really any Evidence that they were even doing Research at all, either... This later came to the Computer for use with the Corona Virus Research? However, it's the exact same Platform used on the PS Network, but funny thing is? The Platform existed before the Corona Virus was released into the Wild, weird right? o_@

- Sony PlayStation Network (Not An Agreement, Just Something I Found) =
The PS3 allowed Saving Bank Cards for faster Purchases, but Upon Storing it,
PSN now draws money from your Account anytime your Wallet runs low on Funds...
The PS4 allowed Saving Account Passwords, but regardless of Saving Passwords,
or not, does not matter anymore, because the Password System was Removed...
As the Password issue is a pretty big one, the Account Removal Process is not exactly
easy to figure out, either for the Platform...

All of these things, make it difficult & un-trusting to wanna use a PlayStation Console
for PlayStation Network Usage at all from now on...

- Microsoft X-Box Live $1 Super Pass = Your given the ability to pay $1 a month for both a Subscription to the X-Box & Windows Store Market Place... Sounds great, right? We'll the first
week, or 2 weeks, or something, your Free Trial Ends, & you get like a month or 2 for this $1 payment thing, but after that? Microsoft can change the Pricing to whatever they want, or see fit... So if they wanted to Raise the $1 to $900, you can't say no... You as a Customer are waving all rights over any form of Complaints twards the Pricing of your Membership going forwards...

- Microsoft X-Box Live $1 Super Pass = Another problem with this Agreement, is that the Network on an X-Box Requires an X-Box Live Membership, but a Computer does not require the Pass, but if you were to switch from your Free Membership, or even a Silver, Gold, or Game Pass
over to the $1 Super Pass, & then decide you don't like the Pass anymore? You no longer have the Option to Downgrade your Membership Pass... For X-Box Users, this might not be terrible, but for Computer Users, you loose out on the "Free Pass" forever...

- Microsoft X-Box Live $1 Super Pass = This Pass is usable for both PC & X-Box now, where as it was not usable on both Platforms before... & you get all kinds of Game Usages per month, but
at least the idea is you can Cancel the Subscription Membership at any time on your Account, however by Canceling the Subscription Membership does not mean you can go back to your old
Pass, nor the Free one, once you switch, you cannot Switch back... Meaning, your now stuck with the $1 Super Pass from now on, pretty much...

- Valve's STEAM = I've read things from Privacy Collecting, to no more Passwords being required to Log-In, to all kinds of things with the Service over the past few Years... Sadly
I cannot remember every one of them i've read, but there has been quite a few of them
that were made...

T&C are irrelevant, you can put anything in there. Doesn't mean people are necessarily bound by your whims. I could put in a clause that by accepting you agree to sacrifice your firstborn to my gods, that doesn't mean I can pull a 10th Plague on everyone who hit I agree without reading the damn thing.

A better approach is simply to know your legal rights and the fact that any clause going "You agree to waive (right granted to you by law)" is legally null and void. But of course you need to know that if you do take on a legal battle against a corporation, you need both an expert in legal matters, and at least a decade of patience.

Of course, people don't know those, either.
