Oh I'm sure in the ToS it mentions that we don't own anything and they have the right to cut access whenever they want for any reason and that you can't sue them for it

I'm not a lawyer, but I vaguely remember hearing that Terms of Service can't protect a company from everything. I seriously doubt a company could get away with that when it was brought to court.

yeah but proving that would cost more than any of us could ever afford

That's what class actions are for

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Don't worry, they got it covered:

for any claim related to these Terms of Sale or our Products ... you may invoke binding arbitration by filing a separate Demand for Arbitration. ... (c) either party may bring a claim in small claims court in lieu of arbitration; ... (i) claims must be brought in the parties' individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. You hereby agree that for any dispute or claim that is less than $10,000 USD, you waive any right to a trial (by judge or jury), you waive any right to participate as a member of a class in a class action or similar proceeding.

Of course, but OP brought up that they couldn't be sued. I was just pointing out that if someone was willing to test it, I bet they could come out on top.

If it wasn't in the terms and they deleted your account, what would you do? And would that action be different than if account deletion was outlined in a terms agreement?

Yep

Ubisoft reserves the right to terminate Ubisoft+ or any of the Ubisoft+ Services, at any time and for any reason, with at least thirty (30) day notice to you.

And yep:

you waive any right to a trial (by judge or jury), you waive any right to participate as a member of a class in a class action or similar proceeding
