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."
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.
Tanks are getting some hefty buffs for the Overwatch 2 Season 10 midseason patch. After a lot of community discussion about the role feeling the worst to play for a while, the development team is changing some numbers to make these brutes harder for the enemy team to take advantage of.
Danish from eXputer: "Blizzard overpromised the PVE elements of Overwatch 2, and then failed to deliver on just about all of them, despite charging money."
No, no, no. Only the people that paid money let them get away with it. There’s no we.
Support Blizzard at your own risk.
Everyone that I know that used to play overwatch has quit at this point, I don't feel like they got away with it.
So if you just play this POS game without spending a cent Blizzard will not see a profit at all.
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.
