I can kind of understand if you were legitimately in the wrong (e.g. sending death threats to other users, getting a warning, and then doing it again), but in the situation where you are simply inactive for some period of time I think it’s unreasonable.

Even with such extreme things, the course of action should be:

- Disable online features on the account

- Fill a complain to authorities if illegal in the user's country (in France, sending death threats online is totally illegal)

But not "Delete the account with its paid content". IMHO, the community part and game library part should not be strong-linked in such a way. If only for false positives.
