They also said that existing players will need to verify their accounts with cell phone numbers.
And then backpedaled, hard, when the reality of that decision set in.
Just getting a bit frustrating telling them, “Please don’t shoot yourself in the foot, do this instead.”.
And then they shoot themselves in the foot, squander more marketing hype potential, lose more community good-will, and end up doing something similar to what I suggested in the first place. (And then do a sloppy job at communicating that the fix even exists)
Like why do they need to begin the process of losing 10-20% of their playerbase before they fix obvious problems.
