This is just horrifying.

Ubisoft CONFIRMS they will delete your account & purchased games if you go inactive for too long!!!

Ubisoft.. WTF?! Another example of why I'm becoming more & more concerned with the death of physical games.

If the EU slaps you with a fine, it's usually not a slap on the wrist but something that seriously stings.

Except for the big guys. Didn't Facebook have a portion on the side, for the expected fines? They still madr more money. If fines are just part of the business calculation, they don't sting enough.

€1.2B fine and the threat of 4% of their turnover as fine if they don't comply with the EU regulations. The EU does not fuck around and is not completely bought like the FTC.
