I suppose I can try that option, but I guess these kind of services should be blocked by them as well.

Maybe because I use librewolf with most browser fingerprinting and tracking disabled? I normally got like 3 to 5 captchas before I could login to discord.

Yeah exactly. What are they even verifying? They don’t have my phone yet, so anybody could put their number there and ‘verify’ the account. I suppose it’s to stop bots, but still, some other options should be available.

What triggers it? I’m currently abroad, so I suppose that might be the reason. But not really willing to give my phone number to discord. Is there no known workaround?

It’s kinda bothersome that so many online groups are using it (or facebook).

Maybe this should be enforced by law. At least for digital purchases which are basically a license.

The only things you can easily give to others are DRM free things, like the games you can buy from GOG. But in that case it’s also easy to copy.

Not if you already activated it.

It used to be possible to buy games as gifts and and them to your inventory to give to somebody ( or activate it yourself ) later.

Now, when you want to gift a game. You have to immediately select the person you want to send it to.
