>Overwatch 2 has mandatory security requirements in order to be played. Starting October 4, 2022, all players across all platforms, including consoles, are required to have a phone number attached to their battle.net account to launch the game.

Hahaha.

Online-only games are not even games, they are SERVICES that can be revoked at any time. The same applies to any game that requires Steam or anything like that - even if it's single player.

Gaming as an industry died when you stopped being able to pay for the data on physical media (CDs / DVDs).

Imagine paying for a banana that you're sure you will eat in the evening, but you see that it has disappeared. It's insane but gamers accepted this.
