I'm not a fan of Ubisoft either. But reading more about it, they don't kill an account if it's got a game on it, regardless of how long it's been since you played it.

They will warn you a month in advance through the email linked to the ubisoft account before killing the account after another month of more inactivity. Logging in through the email link to save the account is enough to save it, if you care about your Ubisoft account at all.

I think the only game I paid for on my Ubi account is Rayman Origins. The rest have been freebies.

Again, I'm no fan of Ubisoft (although Blood Dragon was kinda fun, that was a decade ago in 2013) this really is a nothing burger inflated to incredible proportions.

It's not like say, Blizzard back in the Diablo II days where if you didn't play a D2 character within 14 days, they'd auto delete it without warning. So you constantly had to log into your mule characters on closed battle.net (when that was a thing) or they'd be gone. I have no idea how many items I lost this way when I'd drop D2 for a month and swap to WC3 or SC:Brood War and come back to basically a fresh account with character ghosts I'd have to delete.

This is 2-3 years of inactivity, followed by an email where they wait an extra 30 days before going ahead and deleting the account if you still do nothing.
