Well, in the corporate software-as-a-service insane troll logic hellscape in which we live that could indeed make sense. Mind you, that's not meant to be a rant against you but against the fact that this train of thought has indeed been completely normalized.
In the fantasy world of the past into which I'd like to go back to live happily it is precisely not Ubisoft's product. It's mine. I bought it - none of what I do with it is any of Ubisoft's business. The business transaction has been concluded. If they want to know what I do with my game then they can ask me nicely about it. I'll certainly not allow them to install a proverbial camera over the executable.
It's not a good analogy, I agree, but I'm too angry to come up with a better one right now.
