Ubisoft is a C tier developer/publisher who generally doesn't get my dollars, although they have had some one-off hits in the last decade (Wildlands, Riders Republic, Anno games). I couldn't be bothered to shell out $80 for the latest AC or Farcry copy and paste slog. Seems their servers are getting full. Doesn't really inspire confidence in them as a service provider.

They said if you receive an email, it's 30 days of no activity once you receive the email. Apparently it's being sent to people who have been inactive > 1 year.
Still bullshit, you could be in prison, in a coma, travelling the world or just not gaming for a while and want to come back to it. I know I can go months without playing games and then picking it up again.
I don't have any games in my uplay account.. but I think they're still on Steam, thankfully.
People keep buying digital rentals. Just pirate the living shit out of them. Had to bring my hat back out cause all of this BS.
There are two publishers who have not received a penny from my household since around 2013: EA and Ubisoft. Every time I see an article about these two being baddies it just reaffirms my conclusion from over a decade ago. Never buy from these two publishers and you will live a happier existence.
