It does not mean these games will not function at all, but certain aspects like multiplayer or account linking won’t work anymore. Ubisoft is also removing online support for various aspects of 15 games in total. That’s happened on some multiplayer games already, but I would expect it to happen to more single player titles in the future as the industry moves into the “always online” model no one wanted, but ended up being inevitable. So eventually, whether you own the physical disc or not, if a company turns off those servers, you will probably not be able to play anyway.
