I couldn't agree more. It'll filter out the cheaters, abusive players, and early leavers. In terms of privacy, asking for a phone number is peanuts compared to the level of access Vanguard has on your computer. I think people are blowing this out of proportion.
I guess I'm too old for that. So don't take my pov too seriously.
Competitive gaming takes away all the fun.
I think the stress and frustration do not compensate the wins.
You play to relax but gets stress 90% of the time
You dedicate an absurd of time to it like in a sport, but it has no benefits to health.
You have a limited amount of time in your day to experience different things but then you get dragged to the same 3 button mashing over and over.
Obviously, it is not for me. So, again, don't take it seriously. Maybe someone can answer and give some good counter points that may convince me that it is worth it.
I encounter all of those behaviors on games like CS:GO that already require phone verification. Can't wait to get SWATed by a tank who thought I was a bad healer when the db leaks.
I use a separate computer for games. Multiple for different games. Just because they have egregious amount of access to stuff like the hardware profile and the ability to run anything with full privileges doesn't mean I want to also have phone number nonsense on top of that.
