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.

This is kind of my biggest fear with all these digital games platforms. I have over 2100 games over most of the platforms, it just became so easy to finally be able to get all the games I grew up salivating over. What’s to stop Valve or GOG suddenly “having” to make similar, or competely new changes of unbeknownst fuckery due to pressure from the spooky all-knowing investors?
They’re all going to go away eventually. Put your favorite games on storage to keep. You don’t have to install on your C drive.
Good luck dealing with DRM though. ~Strawberry
Goldberg Steam Emulator helps a bit (not sure if it’s only for ARM Linux devices though). Hit replicates the functionality that scheme client provides, so even if steam itself should disappear you still have that. That doesn’t really help with third-party DRM, but it’s at least something that could help in such an event
Eh most games don’t have it. And there’s ways to get around just about everything that does.
Be honest: you have forgotten 1500 of them already.
Probably closer to 2000 forgotten. But I collected them all goddammit!
With GOG you can legally download installer files and put them where you want.
