Why does the sign flip?
…because the account isn’t yet 6 months old in the first panel?
Then why is he shooting it
…because the account is 6 months old in the second panel. Honestly not hard to understand.
No you’re right, it is easy to understand, just nonsensical.
If your account is older than 6 months it’s dead, along with its games.
Sure, but he shoots it when it’s less than 6 months?
Yeah you’re right, that’s what the image shows. But I think they were going for aiming at less than 6, shot dead at more than 6.
Wait what!? That can’t be legal
It isn’t, but don’t fret… there will be a huge lawsuit, they’ll settle for a few hundred million, which will roughly be less than 2% of what the company made. The lawyers suing will get their >75% cut and we all will get our .67¢ checks. /sarcasm
Capitalism sucks a huge bag of dicks.
I know this is generally the case with lawyers getting all the settlement money, but I think due to people not signing up I actually recently got a $200 cheque from the Yahoo data breach settlement in the mail lol
He shoots it at the transition from <6 to >6
Piracy? No it’s Surprise Ownership!
😎
and it’s quite ethical
Companies don’t care about me and I do not care about them. Feels like a mutual agreement to me. That being said, no need to pirate right now, I just bought all the myst games. Awww yeee
That’s the problem with digital games.
If you buy it legally the publisher might decide one day to take it away from you and you have absolutely no rights to stop them because you don’t own shit.
If you pirate the game then it’s yours to keep for as long as you want. Plus you get the added benefit of none of the draconian DRM that serves no purpose other than to punish people that buy the games legitimately.
Just to clarify that I only support pirating games when they have been removed from store fronts and there is no possible way to support the developer even if you wanted to.
If you bought it once you should be legally allowed to pirate it. That is just common sense.
I don’t even like a majority of their games enough to want to pirate them. 🤷🏻♂️
I agree. :) Haven’t played a ubisoft game for ages…
You would think that Ubisoft would try to keep their remaining customers. I can’t remember the last time I’ve pirated a titel of Ubisoft
I bought the whole AC collection for less than $60, I was excited because I liked Assassin’s Creed… I still do, at least the first ones.
But soon after I bought it they came up with the bright idea of removing DLC content from games, this was about 2 years ago.
I pirated my entire library, I still regret giving them money.
I’ll never buy an Ubisoft game, I remember when years ago their games installed spyware on the browser (found it on my Firefox) . Pox on whoever thought that was a good idea
What is the upside to alienating your customers?
Why are people getting outraged for empty accounts (with no games ever) getting deleted
Because sensational news headlines/articles
Which is still less worse than people getting outraged over headlines instead of reading the articles
It’s not just empty accounts, according to one user
Most likely just pick up by a bot in error, sometimes that happens… sounds more like the exception rather than the rule
Alternatively would people do that? Just go onto the internet and lie.
according to one user
Which does not make a static nor proof, more so since Ubisoft said they will delete just empty accounts
According to one person, that likely made it up for fake internet points.
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.
But they delete accounts after 4 years of inactivity, not 6 months.
If I buy a car and then go to out of state college and end up not driving it for 4 years, the dealership can take the car back? I think not.
I haven’t touched my Ubisoft account since 2013 before today. It’s still there with all my purchases intact.
What’s the context of this?
Misinformation that has since been debunked.

I don’t really care about a corporation that makes the epitome of mediocre games, but let’s criticize them for real things rather than fake things.
