Ubisoft completely removes the option to download certain games where you previously bought a licence for

Not delisting, but completly remove the download and give an message like:

"Explore the store to start a new adventure" blabla

And yes many servers are offline but there is still a thing called private servers

In this case the company wants to force as many people as possible to buy new games

That's not how it should work

@stux I remember when Spotify, Netflix and Steam wanted to remove piracy from our lives. Steam is not to blame, but some game studios, plus dozens of streaming services raising prices and putting ads, etc... It looks like they want us to sail the high seas again.

@stux If you don't like this, take a look at https://www.stopkillinggames.com - The initiative is in early phases right now, but aims to challenge and stop publishers killing games.

It's a corporation, what did you expect.

€1.814 billion revenue. You don't make that with 'fair practices'.

Stop. using. corporate. services.
