Haven’t bought a Ubisoft game for a while. It’s a shame they don’t realize that some of their users may go to prison, or travel for long periods, or join their country’s armed forces, or just fall on hard times.

Plenty of reasons why they wouldn’t log in. At least with Steam (for now, and hopefully for the future) I won’t lose my (non-Unisoft) games for not logging in. Hell, in the early days of Steam, I once didn’t log in for four years. I was amazed that my account was still there when I did finally return.
