It's probably against their TOS anyways, most digital services say you can't transfer usage of the account to another person. And, as with steam, you don't actually own the products but are licensing them from the copyright owner.

Some people buy their games from third party sources. Some people can be busy for a year. What are they thinking?

What counts as pay functions?

Maybe they could just restrict the uplay store, not letting you do any purchase. (Which is stupid, why would you cut out a potential sale?)

It sounds like they mean on accounts without a single game on it, however it is not stated clearly.

Yeah, probably this. They just use incomprehensible "lawyer English" instead of normal English.

Just want to be sure, as I own an account with Steam activations, as well as two games I got from other deals. Never spent a cent on their site though.

I don't see anything at 16.3 that says they will close accounts if inactive for more than 6 months.

While it could look like this, this is probably only going after "empty" accounts, where people don't have any games at all.

The Reddit thread in question has now been tagged by the mods as "misleading: only applies to accounts with no games".

I thought Ubisoft might be planning something bad when I got an email "We're changing our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy" yesterday.
