Imagine buying something from these people after this.
Yes, sometimes I don't play a game for 5 years, but I bought and own it, and I know it'll be there when I come back to it.
....unless it's Ubisoft, then purchases aren't really purchases, and you don't have any right to expect your property to be there when you get back ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
You don't own it, though. The same can happen on Steam, though they're obviously not that shitty. The only store that lets you "own" games is GOG, that's why you won't find new games by shitty companies there.
There's also itch.io.
They should email all the game keys when they shutdown the account, user OWN those, its their property.
