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.

What about pc gaming? As far as I'm aware physical pc games don't exist anymore.

Yeah when I hear about mUh pHySiCaL games I smell a console user. PC hasn't had physical in over a decade. Unless you like Hidden Object games.

No, our defense isn't physical it's just DRM free cracking or a GOG library.

I haven't even had a disc drive in the last 7 years, I'd need an external one because high end laptops tend to not have space for that shit when there's stuff that actually matters to consider, like performance and cooling.

I miss the days of CD keys and multiple disks, oh and owning a cd drive within the last decade. Oh wait, nah I like my expansive day 1 regged steam account with everything in it, ever and cheap keys.

Although I do miss manuals. A good manual in the pre-smartphone world was epic toilet reading. Or a good bradygames strat guide. The GTA:SA one was soooo good.
