Its a bit weird that you NEED to give up a mobile number for overwatch 2. They're claiming its for security, but in that case why not just offer the option for app based MFA? Considering sim-jacking is still an issue and all.

Overwatch will be down for a total of 27hrs and I don't know if I can take it... I'm already experiencing cold sweats and having trouble breathing. Please don't do this @PlayOverwatch I don't think I can go this long without the fun and excitement that comes with double shield.

@Nasdorachi You haven’t touched overwatch otherwise you’d know why the are doing this, the game has a HORRENDOUS smurfing and ban evasion issue with a very open **** community that ban evade by making new accounts to Smurf in lower lobbies and pick up young girls

“If you are using a service without being charged? You’re the product.” So, Overwatch 2 is free but you need to hand over your phone number to play it. Even if you bought the first game that they’re deleting.

Phone verification for Overwatch 2 is fine. I feel like any online game where cheating or toxicity is a problem should require it. "What about the voice recording though?" it is really easy to not say the n word or hit on everything with a vagina i promise you

@DoctorKimochi @Tathem29 A) That was one person, a union was literally formed to combat the problem and the Overwatch department apparently didn't even have a hand in that, stop going for that argument. B) you still didn't answer me. What is so wrong about it being monitored if nothing bad is being said

@Jchorp @MadCalDiseaz @OverwatchCaval I'm not sure how it works on Overwatch as I never played, but in other games smurf accounts are banned/prohibited so this is going to try to diminish this issue

@BurkeDevin The problems with what happened with Overwatch has nothing to do with developer effort. They clearly put time in. The management decisions to stop updating the main game was the issue. And people are just complaining about the biggest content drop and a return to regular content

@Samnesiaaa @juusiey @Tathem29 THIS LITERALLY HAPPENS WITH TEXT CHAT ALL THE TIME IN OTHER GAMES, IT'LL BE WORSE IN A GAME LIKE OVERWATCH AND IM NOT EVEN MENTIONING THE MIRADE OF OTHER PROBLEMS WITH LITERALLY SPYING ON PEOPLE'S CONVERSATIONS FFS I SPENT A WHOLE SEMESTER OF A CS CLASS LEARNING THIS **** AAAAAA

@QuartsClock Twitter is recording a lot about you. I don't see why recording your voice would be an issue unless if you're toxic. Like what secrets about yourself are you saying in Overwatch voice chat that you are scared would leak to the world?

@DILFZONE It was never a problem in any game they just want a reason to hate so bad bc overwatch is coming to eat their money grab games up

But, for me, that's really the reason I soured on Overwatch over time, and that's going to be the central factor of whether I stick with it. I'm hopeful, especially since they've announced measures to address it (also acknowledging implicitly that they realize it's a problem).

@GoNintendoTweet I forgot, even tho I got both overwatch and switch online, does overwatch 1 need the online service, if so this this is a huge improvement

@Flats_OW My issue with overwatch 2 is the fact that many people can longer play the game due the phone number issue let's not even get started on the fact they didn't even release that information until well after many people bought the watch point pack simply unacceptable

@Rispir1 @ByrdeBrains @BellularGaming Games became significantly more profitable when lootboxes were introduced over the previous "Season Pass" model. That is why they implemented the Lootboxes. There are ethical issues with Lootboxes, but their implementation into overwatch did not affect the integrity of the game.

@BlizzardCS I get it's to prevent cheating or hacking or whatever, but to players who don't have a post-paid number, this is kinda dumb. I've been playing Overwatch since the open beta when the game first came out and now I can't even play Overwatch 2 until this issue is resolved.

@SideshowGaming Also it is absolutely weird seeing you complain about Riot trying to introduce the casual audience to the esport side considering the fact that you come from overwatch where that was absolutely an issue of why the esport didn’t succeed. Not sure you want valorant to go that way.

@Giggavega @CHUMPS16575739 It's crazy man. My issue is my kid plays Overwatch for her Esports team. She may have to use my account to play. The system has its flaws and I don't think they are aware of it.

@Karmaspill @ItsJustHenri @IGN 1: You get all the heroes for free if you owned Overwatch 1. (Which a lot of people do) 2: This is all to discourage smurfers. 3: This isn't really an issue in other games, so why is it an issue here?

@OhNoItsAlexx Let me say first the chat recording is Dumb, other than that? For years smurfs ruin this game... If phone number is a answer for this problem I'm fine with it, also FYI you don't need to play "the meta" to win, that's the issue with overwatch 1.

@mechagirlaya I wanted Gundam Evolution to be fun but it definitely feels worse than even Overwatch 1. I don't like Overwatch however definitely feel it has better mechanics and a better pace than Gundam Evo. Mobility is such a big problem in Evo as it is.

@PlayOverwatch Fix the issues with cricket wireless! It is not just smurf accounts! I've played for years and have bought the overwatch 2 founders pack for 40 bucks that I am being told I won't even be able to use!!
