Ubisoft tells players to “destroy” games when online support ends - Dexerto

Ubisoft has updated its EULA, and it’s now instructing its users to destroy their games should the title be taken offline.

Ubisoft has updated its End User License Agreement, and it’s instructing its users to remove and destroy their games completely should the title be taken offline.

Essentially, the EULA has given Ubisoft free rein on its ability to stop supporting a game, writing: “You and Ubisoft may terminate this EULA at any time, for any reason. Termination by Ubisoft will be effective upon notice to you or termination of your Ubisoft account, or at the time of Ubisoft’s decision to discontinue offering and/or supporting the Product.”

Interestingly, this isn’t the only company that has the same terms in its EULA. The likes of Capcom, Sega, and even the Oblivion Remaster have the same clause in their terms and conditions, meaning the stipulation isn’t unique to Ubisoft.

    And that’s why Stop Killing Games is getting big, and it’s also why every gaming company lobbied against it, making it even more important to sign.

    If we’re gonna pay 80 dollars for a product, we better be fucking able to keep it. It literally makes no sense to allow this kind of shit for videogames but not for anything else. If a car company said “If we stop supplying parts to this old car, you must crush it” they’d be laughed out of the room.
