Somehow this eluded me for a couple years, this was added around 2023 but I didn't know it was in here.
https://www.ubisoft.com/legal/documents/eula/en-US

The EULA is effective from the earlier of the date You purchase, download or use the Product, until terminated according to its terms. You and UBISOFT (or its licensors) may terminate this EULA, at any time, for any reason. Termination by UBISOFT will be effective upon (a) notice to You or (b) termination of Your UBISOFT Account (if any) or (c) at the time of UBISOFTs decision to discontinue offering and/or supporting the Product. This EULA will terminate automatically if You fail to comply with any of the terms and conditions of this EULA. Upon termination for any reason, You must immediately uninstall the Product and destroy all copies of the Product in Your possession.

Guess there's another reason I stopped playing Ubisoft games, lol. A shame because I like Rayman and Assassin's Creed.

Ubisoft is the one that said "players should get used to not owning games" right?

Well I haven't owned a Ubisoft game in years!

Edit: That said, what with 1.2 saying that marketing being something that breaks the EULA I'm gonna need to see Humble snap his disc in half.

If buying isn't ownership then piracy isn't theft

There was a time when they were great, actually.

My top two GOAT FPS games were Ubisoft, those being Call of Juarez Gunslinger and XIII. Then there was Child of Light, a seriously underrated turn based RPG. The first several Ass Creeds were great too. Splinter Cell Conviction was amazing (Chaos Theory is the fan favorite, but Conviction is my personal favorite).

Call of Juarez Gunslinger
The entire Call of Juarez series is great. One of the very few FPSes I liked due to its fun story. I actually finished Gunslinger a couple years ago, on the Switch :).
Too bad no new Call of Juarez games have been made in a long time for some reason :(.

For sure. It's more a reflection on the Ubisoft that once was.

There was a time where Ubisoft was considered the best of the major Western publishers (at least, compared to EA and Activision).

That time is long passed.

There's also the issue where a minor (many gamers) cannot generally sign a contract, not to mention that the EULA might not have even been presented as an enforceable contract.

Remember when people tried to guilt trip us into buying this company's shit? Stop simping for these corporate fucks. There's no shortage of good games being made by small devs and corporations at least pretending not to actively hate their customers. Ubisoft is so fucking anti-consumer and has been for a long time and I have to constantly see bullshit about how Star Wars or Assassin's Creed or whatever was targeted by the bad people so I should buy their $80 garbage.

Since posting this I found out that companies like Sega and Rockstar have similar statements in their EULAs. Makes me realize that in general I think things need to be reworked. There's no way it's legally binding even if you happen to accept it.
