In a response to a post from the AntiDRM Twitter account, Ubisoft Support has clarified that users who don’t sign in to their account can potentially lose access to Ubisoft games they’ve purchased. The initial post from AntiDRM featured a snippet of an e-mail sent to a user from Ubisoft notifying them that their account had been temporarily suspended due to inactivity and warning that it would be closed permanently in 30 days. Responding to the ominous e-mail, the Ubisoft Support Twitter account stated “We certainly do not want you to lose access to your games or account” and noted that account closure could be avoided by signing in to the account again.

Even places where you can download music aren’t safe anymore.

I bought an album back in September 2022 on iTunes and downloaded it. Apple Music synced some of my music and fucked up my library, causing me to have to go to a backup from August 2019. I thought, “no problem, I’ll just go download that album from iTunes again.”

Album is no longer available for download. I have a receipt showing I legitimately paid for it.

I’ve found others online saying the same. One person even defending this behavior “well it’s not Apple’s fault the music isn’t on the store anymore”. Maybe not, but I’m going to need a refund from them if that’s the case. We shouldn’t be tolerating this BS.

Unfortunately, "not tolerating this BS" just means "Not buying from them", and by the time you see that it's a problem, it's too late for that. Even if this was a clear-cut case of them breaking some law, which it isn't, it's Apple; they have more money than God, and you'd never successfully sue them before they bankrupted you.

To be fair, everyone has more money than God. He's broke as fuck, but like on purpose or something? Idk.

Well maybe if he wasn't such a deadbeat... Sitting at home all day, sending his son out to do all the work...
