From VGC: "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will seemingly require players to register a phone number to play the game, much like Activision Blizzard‘s recently released Overwatch 2.
A recently updated article on Blizzard’s website detailing its use of phone requirements on Battle.net states that players will need a phone number to play Modern Warfare 2.
While having a mobile phone may not seem like a large barrier to entry in modern life, the site specifies that mobile numbers with prepaid plans may not work."
Overwatch 2's newest update for Season 10 comes with big changes and additions to the game's competitive matchmaking and progression.
Blizzard Entertainment has recently announced the discontinuation of the Hero Mastery Gauntlet mode in Overwatch 2.
They will probably focus 100% on the pvp because if Marvel Rivals steals their spot it will be very hard to recover it
Marvels IP roster is much more interesting than overwatch's... and I'm willing to bet a better developer than actvision/blizzard. If Rivals has a PvE mode its over.
Microtransactions have gotten ridiculously overpriced in recent years, with titles now offering cosmetic skins worth more than some games.
There never was, the only time I paid for a microtransaction was on Blacklight Retribution (PS4) and it was because I enjoyed the game a lot so I felt the devs should get something for all that entertainment (€5 "membership")
I couldn’t believe what Blizzard charged for horse armor and cosmetics in Diablo 4…
I remember back in the day when a season pass was $15 and you got everything included in it. Now, I see them at $60 and you still don’t get everything.
As soon as gaming wasn't deemed nerdy anymore, and reached the casuals this happened. We're smart, but casuals play mobile games and other stuff, and don't really have anything to compare. They think gaming is supposed to be like this and pay for in game purchases.
I was on the fence before but now im definitely not getting it. Gotta stop supporting these shit companies.
If you think about is, this actually is an amazing idea for stopping cheaters. If you get caught, your phone number gets blocked, and it's harder to just create a new account.
Lmao I’m all for it. Don’t support it if you don’t want. We didn’t need more cheaters anyways
I’m just playing the single player until they remove it due to the classist nonsense associated with thinking everyone is on contract.
MW nerds.
"pre paid plans may not work" or "pay as you go for battlenet"
I'm on a pay as you go" so if you think I'm gonna buy digital to find out it doesn't work then go through the hassle of trying to get my money back off PSN then you can fu*k off
This was gonna be my 1st CoD in 4 years so bye bye.
