Activision Blizzard has a dedicated digital game distribution platform and social networking service called Battle.net, and it is responsible for the current operations and accounts management for its latest games. One of the famous titles to run on Battle.net is "Overwatch 2," and it was recently controversial as it required phone numbers to verify a person's identity.

However, there were some complaints regarding this verification from the public, as some users are from the adolescent to teenage age groups and do not have phone numbers for this service.

Nevertheless, Activision Blizzard changed its policies regarding this and allowed people to use their old Battle. net-connected accounts on the original "Overwatch" to avoid this new verification.

Additionally, this is something that was also required with people wanting to play the company's latest release, the famed remake, now available for modern gaming consoles, "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2."

There is a hack to this problem, but there are also alternatives for those who wish to get the game faster, without needing to do anything for their Battle.net platforms.
