Ubisoft games worked amazingly well on Stadia and I am pretty sure they licensed Stadia software for their own use, likely they will offer it as a part of Ubi+ subscription, so if they get the streaming rights to CoD, I am not surprised they want to ensure it works well on Linux machines.

Quoting: kuhpunktLike with stuff like Cult of the Lamb - wouldn't "deleting" their game be pointless anyway? Like if I bought the game on say Steam already, I could still download it after January 1.
Not if they delete the depots.
Are they even allowed to do that? Like legally. Delisting is one thing.
I don't know. But technically it's possible to, at least, empty the depot or modify any of the files - even if not delete.
