Quitting Injustice: What to Do With Your Account

Quitting Injustice does not require a plan. Most people simply stop opening the app, and nothing bad happens.

But a small amount of preparation is worth doing, because the cost is ten minutes and the benefit is that the account is still reachable if you change your mind. And people change their minds considerably more often than they expect to at the moment they stop.

This guide is what to do, and more importantly what not to do.

The default answer: keep it

Leaving an account dormant costs you nothing. There is no fee, no expiry on returning, and no storage you are responsible for. The account simply sits there.

Set against every alternative — selling it, giving it away, deliberately abandoning it — doing nothing is the option with no downside. That is unusual enough to be worth stating clearly, because the instinct when leaving something is to resolve it somehow.

You do not have to resolve this. You just have to be able to get back in.

The ten minutes worth spending

Do these four things before you stop, while the details are still fresh.

1. Confirm which email address the account is registered under. Not the one you assume — check. This is the single most important item and the one people get wrong months later.
2. Make sure you still control that email, with a unique password and two-factor authentication enabled.
3. Give the game account its own unique password. If it shares one with anything else, change it now.
4. Note which app store the purchases were made through. Receipts are the strongest recovery evidence if the email ever becomes a problem, and knowing where to look saves considerable time.

That is it. Our WBID account guide covers why the recovery email matters more than the password — in short, whoever holds the email controls the account regardless of what the password is.

Do not sell it

The reasoning is set out fully in our guide to what an account is actually worth, but the short version matters here.

Account trading breaches the terms of service for both parties. The realistic price is a fraction of what the account represents to you, because informed buyers discount heavily for the fact that you can reclaim it at any time. Your app store receipts stay permanently bound to your store account, so you remain identifiable regardless of who is playing. And a buyer paying by a reversible method can dispute the charge and keep the account anyway.

The gap between what you think it is worth and what anybody will pay is not a negotiation problem. It is structural, and it does not close.

Do not hand it to a friend either

This feels different and mostly is not.

Passing credentials to somebody "to look after" or "to get some use out of it" creates the same terms breach, the same recovery entanglement, and a genuinely awkward conversation if you want it back in a year. If the account is later penalised for something done while they had it, the history is still attached to you.

If you want a friend to enjoy the game, the version that works is them starting their own account — and the new player guide is a considerably better gift than a login.

Cancel anything recurring

Check your app store subscriptions for anything attached to the game. This is easy to forget and is the one thing that will actually keep costing you money after you stop playing.

While you are there, it is worth removing stored payment details if the device is shared — our parental controls guide covers why that matters in households, and it applies to a dormant account as much as an active one.

If you are quitting because of the spending

A legitimate reason, and worth handling deliberately rather than by willpower.

Remove the payment method from the store account rather than merely intending not to spend. Consider enabling purchase restrictions, which makes a return a deliberate act rather than an impulse. Keeping the game account is still fine — the account is not the problem; the frictionless payment path is.

Our guide to setting a spending limit covers the underlying issue, including the arithmetic exercise most players have never done.

If you are quitting because you are stuck

This one is worth pausing on, because it is often a different problem than it feels like.

Being blocked by content usually means one of three things: a genuine numerical gap, a roster that lacks an answer to something specific, or a play problem that a stronger roster would not fix. Those have different solutions, and only the first two respond to resources at all. Is Injustice pay to win sets out how to tell which one you are experiencing.

If you have not tried concentrating your resources on a small core team rather than spreading them, that alone resolves a surprising share of walls — the reasoning is in our free characters guide.

Quitting is a perfectly good decision. It is just worth making it about the game rather than about a wall that had a cheaper answer than leaving.

If you come back

Plenty of people do, often years later. The account will be where you left it, the meta will have moved, and your roster will look dated — which is a normal and manageable position rather than a hopeless one.

Returning after time away covers what to do first, and the answer starts with recovering the account rather than rebuilding, for reasons that are worth understanding before you assume starting fresh is simpler.

That guide is also the reason this one exists. Nearly every returning player who cannot recover an old account lost it the same way: an email address they no longer control, and ten minutes they did not spend.
