So a couple of days ago, Overwatch 2 launched, and, among many other problems, the game caused controversy because Activision-Blizzard demanded their users a phone number to access the game. After the quite obvious and justified backlash, Activision-Blizzard said they would work on fixing it in some way. But then, the next CoD is announced to need your phone.
Why are they doing this? This is a flagrant violation of the users' privacy, not to mention creepy as fuck. And I don't believe for a second the argument that it's to "combat the trolls". Do you think this is going to spread to other companies besides Activision?
The "Don't you guys have phones?" rabbit hole gets deeper...
