Ubisoft Wants Gamers To Destroy All Copies of A Game Once It Goes Offline

Ubisoft makes changes to its EULA, which states that gamers must destroy all copies of the game once it is offline.

Ubisoft just sneak-updated its EULA to say it can pull the plug on any game at any time—and when it does, you’re legally on the hook to immediately uninstall and physically destroy every copy you own. They even shifted the burden onto players to keep an eye on future tweaks, or face the same doomsday clause.

This heavy-handed move lands as Ubisoft’s stock and reputation have cratered, fueling a new wave of fan ire. Critics argue it’s absurd for any company to demand game destruction, but Ubisoft insists it’s just covering its legal rear as it grapples with losses and legacy-title cutoffs.
