I played the hell out of OW1. They turned off OW1 servers and required my actual real phone number to continue to play on OW2. Wouldn't even let me use a VIP number. There is no time in this universe where I will want Blizzard/Activision or its advertising partners to have my real phone number. No interest in OW2.
AFAIK they removed the phone number requirement from people who own OW1 a few weeks after release
They did because my alt accounts work and they don't have numbers attached.
