I gave them my number months ago and Gabe STILL hasn't called :(

Sounds fair, mobile authentication is one of the few ways to kill bots/hackers dead in their tracks.

Just partaking in this piece of history before its locked.

It got much worse than this.

You, reading this in the future, it wasn't too good at this point of 2022, hope you're in a better reality.

I think if Valve cared so much about Linux and "open source", they should 'open source' the Steam client so that all the shady telemetry could be removed.

Except VOIP numbers aren't used, nor are some smaller cheaper carriers. VALVᴱ aren't complete dummies.

So many companies are obsessed with your personal data, not just Valve and not just your number. Its a highly monetizable commodity.

I understand why otherwise "free" services (ex: Facebook, Gmail) that have no other monetization scheme might do it (if you don't pay for a service, you are the payment). I think companies that are getting paid for services rendered (ex: Amazon) and still do this are just greedy.

He posted recently but his account was renamed FloridaSucks (approximately) at the time.
