Ubisoft deleted account with hundreds of dollars’ worth of games for inactivity
I feel a bit disappointed by the number of people suggesting that an NFT would somehow help here.<p>An NFT is just a fancy signed receipt. I can mint an NFT saying the OP owns a bunch of Ubisoft games and give it to him, but his account will still be closed. <i>Ubisoft</i> could mint an NFT saying he owns a bunch of games and give it to him, <i>but his account will still be closed</i>. (He probably still has the receipts from when he bought the games in his inbox somewhere, but of course, his account is still closed.)<p>We can store whatever records we like in a fancy distributed database, but his account will still be closed. The only fix here is Ubisoft needs to not close peoples accounts.<p>Somewhat amusingly Ubisoft is in the process of launching an NFT system (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arstechnica.com&#x2F;gaming&#x2F;2021&#x2F;12&#x2F;ubisofts-first-nft-plans-make-no-sense&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arstechnica.com&#x2F;gaming&#x2F;2021&#x2F;12&#x2F;ubisofts-first-nft-pl...</a>) and as anyone paying attention would no doubt expect, it doesn&#x27;t solve <i>anything</i> related to this; up to an including the fact that if you get banned you...lose your NFTs.<p>There is no technological problem to solve here.
