You know that isn't what's being discussed, don't act stupid. This is about Ubisoft turning off servers and you can't ever play a game again, even when it's a single player CD you bought with cash from a store. This is about them turning all of their games into Games as a Service.
Even your first quote, and the article itself, says LICENSE TO ACCESS. "Access" does not mean "IP ownership," it means "It's in my house and I want to use it now since I paid for it 10 years ago."
This one is interesting because the expiration on the activation code suggested that it should be usable that long.
But the article is written as if it's a license vs. ownership question. Rather than a question about the license's terms. I don't know why people are HERE of all places trying to cover for fucking IGN's bad journalism.
