Just had that issue with another sign up...I'm with you...miss the simple days where you could have 50 free hotmail, yahoo, whatever...and that was all you needed lmao. They don't care if you eve have a phone, no phone = no money so your useless i their eyes, not just as a consumer for profit...but they assume your not even worth it as a human being to socialize...what could you gain them?

Its not worth the risk of security without a phone to track you to your ankle for the world to truly have freedom anymore in equal amounts. Wonder if you could sue them for prejudice? 😂

I'd do it just to make them drop the phone need for christ sake lmao.

There is a burner phone site that may work. In my case it wouldn't, but if your gonna delete it after a GA or don't care if they do...wtf cares lol.
I too miss those simpler days where I could use the web in relative anonymity and not have to disclose my identity, location, browsing habits, shopping history and more just to use a service. Privacy matters. Nobody needs to know what I do in the privacy of my own home, so why should I be forced to be an open book online?

And it's a slippery slope. Now they require a phone number. Next, they'll want a bank account number and proof of address. Then they'll want a digital ID to check if you have a criminal record. Any red flags and you're instantly shut out like a lepper. No recourse if you were targeted unfairly. I don't want to live in an invasive world that treats me like a commodity. I'd rather be a luddite.

I'm not one of those die-hard libertarian idealogues. I just find the current state of thing frustrating, and I worry about the direction things are headed. 10 years from now, privacy could become a thing of the past.

I totally agree with you, and worst thing young generation was born in this era so they have not idea of how things were more private before, so it is just normal to share their identity on the internet.

The same thing! What the hell?

AWA Daily Quest for today (5 ARP): Get smart!
Read 1 or 2 news: https://na.alienwarearena.com/ucf/News

New Steam Quests Update:
Stray (Not Free): Play for 1 hour to get 25 ARP
GWENT: The Witcher Card Game (Free): Play for 1 hour to get 25 ARP
MultiVersus (Not Free): Play for 1 hour to get 25 ARP 👈👈 Regional Restrictions also

For MultiVersus, gotta see if the Beta key from Steelseries or the drop claim from hitsquad stream counts as full game played for this one 🤔.
