They even lie in the email. They say "we'll assume where you are based on your last sign in" to "oh you can totally change your state. But they admitted they'd know if we were lying.

Steam already does this btw

>>737587931
Can you absolutely 100% guarantee that any dumbass opinion on the internet will not be ai sloppa? No, because humanity is a random collection of thoughts that hasn't even realized the i in agi

Remember to spread your butt cheeks very wide for your corporate overlords and not ask your government to protect your non-existent rights (that would be literally communism).
Meanwhile, I'll enjoy owning my games forever.

>>737588198
I'm not on steam though. There's no reason why they need to track me.

>>737588383
>I'll enjoy owning my games forever.
That's what they all say until they realize tech gets old, data can be wiped or corrupt, hard drives fail, floods, tornados, blacks, fires. You're fucked no matter how you look at it.

>>737587931
Just as planned, uh

>>737588367

>>737588524
Damn, if only there was a way to do data backups locally...

>>737588658
Did you not see what I said?

>>737588757
It obviously is, did you read it?

>>737587848
here's how it works: the companies lobby for these rules, and then act like they're "forced" to implement this. This makes alternatives impossible or difficult to find.
Companies like Ubisoft were talking for years about wanting greater control over players.

>>737589193
The fact they were already keeping record of where their users were signing into their account from is already highly concerning.
The only logic reason they'd do this to see which states allow micro transactions and what kind.

>>737587848
odd that this wasn't already a thing because states care bigly esp. w.r.t. taxes
>>737589378
i'm sure ubishit uses it for something retarded but every service should do this as part of anomaly detection to verify you aren't being hacked

>>737589378
You're being dumb. Your IP already tells them where you are.

>>737592008
But there's no reason for them to know that.

>>737588658
damn if only there was a way to price you out of data ownership, or just not make the tech anymore

>>737587848
different states have different tax requirements for online purchases dude. I do not think it's any deeper than sales tax

>>737592560
BS

>>737592603
no like California literally doesn't pay sales tax for digital goods as an example

>>737592560
>tax requirements
I'm sure it's because of the age verification laws that California passed recently, plus the national law that's been proposed, has forced companies to comply.

>>737592648
I didn't buy their games from them directly I bought it through a distributor. What would they need to know where I am for that for "taxes"?

>>737592120
unironically good for security, if you've been logging on from the US all the time and then suddenly there's a login from Russia then you know your account info is compromised, and at least the user will get an email with a suspicious login and a suggestion to change password

>>737592872
I don't know, I assumed this would only matter if money is exchanging hands. Or to verify you are using the correct version of location locked game keys or something.
>>737592859
I don't really see the correlation, but maybe

>>737587848
It's not a problem If you have nothing to hide!
Just follow the rule Goy!

>>737592919
Which again doesn't make any sense because why would I need to verify where I am through them?
What if I'm using a VPN? I could easily say I'm anywhere. Doesn't mean anything.
I don't think I've known anyone getting any notifications like that because of any travel or VPN usage.

>>737592978
Again that doesn't make sense because what if I bought a game used, made an account when booting the game up, how does that help with their taxes exactly?

>>737592872
Brotherman even if you dont buy directly from them they still need to know your state so that they know whether to tax you or not if you DO purchase something

Blame your gay ass state government trying to jew $2.00 from every digital purchase

>>737593118
I don't think uplay applies to any PC game you can buy "used" since they are just keys bound to an account
But doesn't every store have this when you sign up? I don't understand what I'm missing here? Like literally when making the account I told them my country and state

>>737593236
What are you even talking about? Do you even know what you're talking about?

>>737593256
I play my games on consoles as do many other people.

>>737593052
Because your state passed a law that says "Anon needs to pay us 3 goybux whenever he buys something, you better make sure he does Ubisoft!"

If you are using a VPN they still need to know that info so that they dont tax you with your state's goytax instead

>>737593345
My state did no such thing.

>>737593291
If you have an account, you can make a purchase, if you can make a purchase they need to know whether to tax you or not. Dont know how this is confusing to you
If you dont have an account idk why you give a fuck

>>737587931
I hope a nigger carves your throat out with a shiv.

>>737593423
Then they still need to know your state because other states did, and they need to know that you don't live in them

Btw did you know that if you live in Jew York, if you use a VPN to get around paying digital sales tax its legally considered tax fraud. It's true

>>737593438
>If you have an account, you can make a purchase
>If you dont have an account idk why you give a fuck
First of all, I have an account.
I play on consoles.
I had to make an account for one of their games.
I can play their games used because they still make discs that be sold as used.
I have never made any purchases on their site.

>>737593493
It's the biggest leftist mega city in the entire world wrapped around snuggly around blue state territory in another layer of blue state territory of the upper East coast followed by three other blue states being exposed for fraud that nothing has been done about that.
Not to mention those locations also wanted to defund the police. I highly doubt they're cracking down on anyone that isn't a pedo out of obligation to convince people they're doing anything since they're the easiest dumbest type of criminal there is.

>bunch of states passing ID bills so some jackoff teen can't access pornhub in Mississippi or Texas or whatever

This is just Ubisoft getting ahead of things for when they start putting that kind of pressure on video games and their distribution. We're only one silly thing away from cottage industries in California or Illinois dropshipping M-rated games across red state borders.

its literally for taxes on store purchases
they do it on every store now
also youre dumb if you think your ass isnt tracked by every information gathering agency in the world already. Obama already proved that

>>737587848
They've been asking for that shit for a long time.
>>737587931
No, it doesn't

>>737588719
yes, however due to how stupid your post was it is obvious you cannot even comprehend someone might not live on a coastline a flood plain or a place called fucking tornado alley
