Blizzard were about to implement a change to the way immunities work in D2 that would have opened up dozens of new builds and reverted it at the last minute because some no-life streamer begged them not to make Sorcs even slightly less OP than they've ever been in the 20+ year history of the game.

The phone thing was extra-dumb because a lot of prepaid plans didn't qualify for their SMS protect which cut off a lot of especially younger players for no reason.

This looks like a gamers.txt moment but I think the complaint here is actually valid, it's really easy to fall through the cracks.



And this does matter in the context of things like people who paid real money for Overwatch 1 and were randomly cut off from playing it because gently caress you that's why.

Their reversal should cover most but not all cases, they're taking away the SMS protect for accounts that had some sort of fleshed out Battle.net account which includes anyone who played Overwatch 1 at all in the last like 16 months or so. Almost certainly some edge cases out there that can't play and could result in some repercussions from places like the EU and Australia.

Like do you get a weird number for prepaid? A number that identifies you as not having the credit for a post paid phone? Or is it because of the patriot act?

If it’s anything like the UK different carriers have specific number prefixes and they can just blacklist those.

It gets a little stickier these days since so many people port their numbers around between carriers but that’s the simplest answer, there are probably other ways you can tell what carrier a number is with but I’m no telecoms guy so :shrug:

Are only US phone numbers affected? I assumed Blizzard didn't like pre-paids because burner phones would get around the reason I thought they wanted phone numbers in the first place.
