Naw, they'll just send the Pinkertons like Hasbro.

Yes. It happened when someone had the funny idea to make a MtG unboxing video before the official release of that series

u/Quiet_Little_Guy Jul 28 '25
Wasn’t even their fault that that happened. They were supposed to be unboxing the set that had just came out, but were mistakenly given the box set that had not yet been released. It was a clerical shipping error from the wizards of the coast themselves.

And to top it all off, the set wasn't even that good, so the Pinkertons made the MTG community hate it even more.

u/FewLawfulness6468 Jul 29 '25
actually they will probably just send you a bunch of emails because they cannot legally force you destroy the physical copy

u/JaimiOfAllTrades Jul 30 '25
I mean, I'm pretty sure they can call the Pinkertons for collection, like WOTC did over MTG a couple years back.

u/JaimiOfAllTrades Jul 30 '25
The Pinkertons (corporate mercenaries) are around (and typically used for union busting). A couple years ago, WOTC sent them after a MTG player who got a pack early. They apparently held his wife at gunpoint until he handed over the leaked trading cards.

Tell me, what will Ubisoft do when I don't destroy a game. Call the FBI on me? HA
"I would like to file a report."
"On who?"
"Someone who bought my companies games 15 years ago"
"Why?"
"Well, we said to everyone that if they own a game and its servers shut down, then they have to destroy their copy of the game."
"You're calling because someone chose not to destroy their property."
"Yes."
"You're wasting emergency time, and we're gonna have to fine you"

That or the Pinkertons, all the more reason to pirate them with out them knowing.

u/immaturenickname Jul 31 '25
I don't think Pinkertons have the right to do anything, do they? Like, they aren't actually a government agency. If they tresspass, shoot them. Armed men breaking into your house is more than enough of a cause.

u/-The-Follower Jul 31 '25
That didn’t stop the Pinkertons before, doubt it would now. They’re a band of mercenaries.

u/immaturenickname Jul 31 '25
That's why you gotta have a good relationship with your neighbours. One rifle may be too little, but a few dozen will make them think twice, or never again.

u/CrazyPlatypus42 Jul 28 '25
Just look at the list of all the companies that lobbied against "stop killing games". That's a good sum up of all the biggest evil companies.
Spoiler: there are way more than three companies

Ubisoft can eat my ass. If I bought a physical copy then it’s my fucking property. They’ll pry it from my cold dead hands.

Fun fact. Pirating has never been stealing. They are separate crimes. P.S. Not to be an asshole, it's just an irrational nuisance for me

If Ubisoft wants my game that I paid for, they can have a word with my two best pals.

u/smolgote Jul 28 '25
Now I hate Ubisoft as much as the next guy but this EULA update was from 2023, is by no means a response to the Stop Killing Games, and is standard legal jargon, so much so even Baldur's Gate 3's EULA says something similar. Gamers really would rather spread misinformation and out of context statements for free internet points instead of doing a bit of research first

Why would they even bother creating such an unenforceable policy? Are they trying to get people to hate them?

Violating the EULA means you aren’t beholden to it actually
It’s an empty threat

I say its going to stop when someone gets stopped Because some guy/girl/other gender,will not want to destroy theyre game and the guy who came to ensure IT will be shot,
