However, any Overwatch accounts that are not linked to a Blizzard account will still need to link their account to a phone number, as will new players. The blog post says this measure help protect the community against cheating.
I’m doing this because of a recent(ish) change of policy at Sony. They used to be very guarded about their ‘PlayStation exclusives’ — which is to say, games that could only be played on PlayStations and not any other console.

But I was soon back to gaming, thanks to that swinging mechanic. Press a button to send Spider-Man Tarzanning through the air, release it to have him drop. Up, down, up, down, with a few embellishments along the way. It’s a masterpiece of momentum, and it never gets boring.

And Two Point Campus certainly is fun, not least for its gameplay. If you’ve played a management sim before, then you’ll know what to expect: you lay out the rooms and furniture of a university; hire teachers to do the teaching, janitors to do the maintenance; then try to keep everyone happy — especially the students — while making some money along the way.
It’s also fun because, well, it’s fun. Like its ward-based forbear, Two Point Campus has a colourful look and a lightly sardonic sense of humour.Your establishment’s tannoy will blurt out advice like: ‘Students are reminded to set reminders.’ And rather than a redbrick, you’re more likely to be setting up a castle-like school for knights, with classes in jousting.
The current compacts expire at the end of this year and only Burgum can approve them. The governor wouldn´t comment on the proposal because negotiations are ongoing. Tribes argue the provision is needed because of the explosion of electronic pull tab machines across the state that have hurt their casinos, which are central to many tribes´ economies.
