'Enchanted Arms' disappears from Xbox Store, leaving fans in the dark

Enchanted Arms, a 2006 RPG by FromSoftware and Ubisoft, has been delisted from the Xbox Store without warning or explanation. The game, which was compatible with modern Xbox consoles, is one of the earlier works by the studio that created the Dark Souls series and other acclaimed games. Fans who want to play will have to find a physical copy for PS3 or Xbox 360.

The game received mixed reviews when it came out, but some fans enjoyed its turn-based combat and anime-style graphics. It is not a Soulslike game, but a traditional JRPG with charm and humour. However, its digital availability has been cut off, and there is no indication of its return. FromSoftware is busy with other projects, such as the Elden Ring DLC and Armored Core 6, which are releasing soon. The studio is unlikely to remaster or re-release Enchanted Arms soon, if ever.

Ubisoft’s account deletion policy sparks outrage among gamers

Ubisoft, the publisher of popular franchises like Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry, has a policy that deletes inactive accounts and all their games after sending a warning email. The policy means that gamers who don’t sign in to their Ubisoft account for a certain period, which could vary from two to six years or more, risk losing their purchases, unlocks, and progress. Ubisoft Support said users can avoid this by signing in to their account again, but many Twitter users criticized this policy as anti-consumer, illegal, and unfair.

The backlash from Twitter users was intense, with some accusing Ubisoft of pushing gamers to subscribe to its Ubisoft+ service, which offers unlimited access to its games. Others pointed out that the policy is against the law in some countries, including France, where Ubisoft is based. Ubisoft may need to reconsider its policy after the negative response.
