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.

    I haven’t bought a triple A game brand new since like 2014 or something. I wait until they have some sort of sale on them first. Literally didn’t buy Cyberpunk 2077 until very recently when they finally knocked it down to $30 a few weeks ago. It actually shocked me to walk by the games isle recently and see that triple A titles including yearly sports games are like $80 now. Crazy IMO. I might go back to reading books.

        Nope, some of the ones I have seen the “base” version is $70. But to get a good experience or have a better chance at beating it, for the in-game upgrades one has to go for the “deluxe” or higher which is usually $80+. When I bought Riders Republic the cadillac tier of that game was like $140 or something.

      $30 is still too much. I have my alarm set to $10.

      Btw, there are lots of free eBooks too. I’m currently in the Jenkinsverse.

        Since I have a Kindle if I feel like reading anything paid, sometimes I’ll subscribe for a month or two to Kindle Unlimited, read it, then unsubscribe.
