Ubisoft has updated its End User License Agreement, and it’s instructing its users to remove and destroy their games completely should the title be taken offline.
Essentially, the EULA has given Ubisoft free rein on its ability to stop supporting a game, writing: “You and Ubisoft may terminate this EULA at any time, for any reason. Termination by Ubisoft will be effective upon notice to you or termination of your Ubisoft account, or at the time of Ubisoft’s decision to discontinue offering and/or supporting the Product.”
As such, Ubisoft naturally holds the rights to discontinue or stop supporting a game at any time, should they so choose.

However, what’s more is that they’ve added a clause in the same EULA which explains that, upon the termination explained above, “you must immediately uninstall the Product and destroy all copies of the Product in your possession.”
What this means is that if Ubisoft chooses to “discontinue offering and/or supporting the Product,” then “you must immediately uninstall the Product and destroy all copies.”
As such, Ubisoft is essentially asking players to destroy their digital and physical games should the title be taken offline.
This comes at the same time as the extremely popular movement, Stop Killing Games, which aims to limit studios from terminating their online games, stopping any fans from enjoying the title, and rendering their purchase useless. Think Anthem or Concord, for example.
The movement is quickly gaining traction, with over a million signatures demanding the change and various influencers sharing their support.
Interestingly, this isn’t the only company that has the same terms in its EULA. The likes of Capcom, Sega, and even the Oblivion Remaster have the same clause in their terms and conditions, meaning the stipulation isn’t unique to Ubisoft.
