I feel like I missed something and need to try logging into the ubi account for the first time in a while. I don’t really wanna buy anything but if they delete the shit I own Im gonna be super pissed

It's apparently only for accounts that haven't bought/received anything. So empty libraries.

People going mad about this and it's complete non-issue.

No they've been deleting accounts with games, that's why this is so controversial.

Got a source for that? From what I've read the official stance is that if the account has any purchased games its not eligible for deletion: https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/24/23805783/ubisoft-delete-game-accounts

I dunno, but I'm getting deja vu now from over a year ago. There was a story about them deleting accounts with games, followed by articles saying it was only for accounts with no games.

Either way I long since stopped caring about Ubisoft.

So it was a non-story back then as well?

Yes that's what I'm saying.
