I mean do they email you with a heads up with decent lead time to log in and reset the clock?

Does it matter? Storing use data is incredibly cheap in the grand scheme of things.

[–] dan1101@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Especially the very small amount of data that should be required to list the games an account owns.

[–] schema@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Exactly. Don't make a store/launcher, if you don't want to deal with the data in the first place.

30 days of notice. You have to be inactive for at least 4 years, as well.

This is.. not great, but honestly I don't care as much as I did initially. Maybe give more warning, though.

[–] HubertManne@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah this is reasonable but it would be nice if they gave 90 days a few warnings for edge cases. Honestly 4 years is really generous I can see them knocking that part down if they raised the notice time.
