I'm pretty sure they only do this if you have 0 games and haven't logged in for a very long time. If you own even 1 game, you're safe.
Yeah, if they remove your access to a paid game, they can open themselves to legal ramifications.
That would seem like something where the TOS can fuck you over, depending on where you live and the strength of consumer protections there.
I would not at all be surprised if Ubisoft would be allowed to completely delete accounts in several "first world" countries.
And of course, even if you're technically legally protected, getting that right in a court against ubisoft
Reminder that we don't own the games in our libraries. We license them for a one-time subscription fee. They can put whatever they want in the ToS and there's basically fuck-all you can say about it, it's a license, they own it, they can always revoke your access to their "service".
You will own nothing and be happy.
(Or you could turn to piracy and actually own games that can't be remotely nuked by the publisher if their robot is unhappy with the way you use your property, but bypassing licensing fees is illegal. Noooo don't do it. Please. Think of the poor billion dollar publishing companies.)
