Earlier this week, Twitter consumer PC_enjoyer shared a screenshot of a Ubisoft assist e mail supposedly telling the consumer their Ubisoft account had been suspended for being “inactive.” The e-mail additionally warned the account could be closed “completely in 30 days,” which is clearly extra regarding than simply having your account suspended.

In case you are questioning if that is simply somebody ragging on Ubisoft, the official Ubisoft Help Twitter account did really reply to the unique tweet saying, “We simply needed to chime in you can keep away from the account closure by logging into your account inside the 30 days (since receiving the e-mail pictured) and deciding on the Cancel Account Closure hyperlink contained within the e mail. We definitely are not looking for you to lose entry to your video games or account so when you have any difficulties logging in then please create a assist case with us.”

A report from a few years in the past additionally discovered {that a} participant with a Ubisoft account that had video games hooked up to it had additionally been shut down, regardless of claiming that it would not accomplish that for such instances.

There’s additionally no official phrase on how lengthy your account must be inactive for Ubisoft to determine it is time to be deleted, so even when you have not logged in shortly, it is perhaps price doing so simply to save lots of entry to video games you could have purchased.
