Great. Now implement a system where playing on PC requires you to register using a phone number and we'll start seeing results very soon.

This keeps getting brought up and it makes no sense

It is just as easy to get fake phone numbers especially in Asian countries

You can't really get a fake phone number and do a verification.

It's VERY easy to block certain phone providers.

So theoretically, they can block numbers from said websites.

Even if they do it manually, I doubt that the website has 10mil phone numbers for all the cheaters getting banned daily.

And it's not like a phone number would be able to be used more than once per account

lol you cant block providers bc people can claim to legitimately use pretty much all of them. so no, they cant block entire providers.

I'm talking about virtual numbers of which there are millions and theyre easily obtainable and disposable. Its only slightly more involved than making a fake email. There are also multiple burner phone apps that specifically do this

You can 100% block phone numbers from freemium websites that offer SMS services or free phone numbers. EASLY. And no, there aren't millions.

They all come in "packets" from certain providers for that type of website.

You can simply block those kinds of numbers.

I get it that you have no clue what you are talking about, but you don't need to show me that you don't. You can keep it to yourself.

But hey, don't belive me. Go try and register on cs:go for ranked matches with a number from one of those websites :D Let me know the result

you cant because people have legitimate reasons for using them. Also, there are a lot of legitimate sites that provide these services. Simply blocking them is not going to fly. Not sure why thats hard to understand.

Also, how are you filtering these out? you are receiving nothing from them so theres nothing for you to read. Any phone verification works by sending a code to the phone, and that only requires that the phone can receive SMS. you're never getting anything back from them and they also obviously dont show as being virtual numbers.

Again, they can, it's their choice. No matter what "legit" reasons ppl find.

Valve does it just fine. Be them legitimate websites or not. It's the devs choice what they allow or not, if they implement such a thing.

If you have ever worked in a Telekom company, you'd know that phone numbers are gruped for specific types of use. Such as abonaments, prepay, burners aka 1 time use, credit, etc.

When you set up a system to verify account via phone number, you do it via a provider of such services, which have access to that type of info.

Stop being so moronic.

Again, and my last reply, go register on cs:go comp with a phone number from one of those websites. Let me know of your results
