Phone number required? Really???

[George Droid]

I played the game on battle.net (before season 6) and on steam fine but now it asks me for my phone number. Really blizzard? You want more hate?

If you've ever handled a penny, the government has your DNA. Relax.

[George Droid]

Guess i'll uninstall the game. Blizzard, you just lost a consumer.. I'm glad i didn't buy anything.

Blizzard needs your constant bombardment.

Greetings from Russia! Despite the fact that blizzard is a russophobic (racist) company, I managed to register an battlenet account for my child without a phone number. I used a german vpn. Try to do the same.

А если уже есть аккаунт, но просит привязать номер? Новый акк что ли делать?

Steam has all the info they need, I will not be giving my phone number to Blizzard of all companies...

Когда эта проблема появилась? Только что проверил, пока что ничего не просит. А так да, новый аккаунт придется делать, без телефона. Теоретически, на него и бан может прилететь за синих гномиков, если играть на том же железе в той же сети

буквально сегодня
все советуют делать акк с регионом Казахстана, но с номером так и не понятно где его взять

Blizzard dumped support in China as no player can play like WoW and more for months due to greed. Stop spamming propaganda.

Did you own overwatch one and made sure you logged on ow2 before the ow2 transfer was over? That’s probably why

[Some Kinda Kobold]

I've noticed a lot of games big in asian countries now require phone numbers. PUBG is the same. Has something to do with rules in places like China.

Literally everything you do online takes your info. It doesn't matter that much, boohoo my phone number was sold to an indian scam company, I call my provider and block any incoming calls or messages from people that aren't in my contacts. Hell Google takes your information every time you use it even if you don't allow them to for safety and security purposes. Why would I want a hacker to create a new account for free when their old one got banned, sure they can buy another phone number but the more money they spend the stupider they look.
