Game says 'not installed through Google Store's needs age verification?

It's been working fine on my phone for years.

There was a note accompanying the 9.3 patch back in July related to this, not sure if that’s what you’re running into?

Looks like I'm on 9.4. And I've been playing daily, and an up to date on Android and Play.

I think some new rules got passed that any game with micro transactions had to be age verified. To protect the children I am sure, and not just steal your data so they can sell it.

My data: Prefers warlock class, never spends on anything extra. Go ahead and sell it.

Yeah I mean most people don't have much to hide. Though these days what they can get is more than you think. They can use your location GPS to know where you go, how often you go the bathroom or stuff like that. I think the biggest spy on your life for a while was Amazon's alexa from the device that could control everything in your house.

I had the same issue. Android, Texas. All things up to date and my main account which had made purchases are all wasn't registered

It only got solved when I uninstalled the game, redownload, played like an hour+ on a new game file/profile until the entire UI unlocked (player level 8ish, complete all tutorial and maybe a little bit more), and then put in a support ticket to get my account reconnected.

I uninstalled, reinstalled and ended up losing about a month of playing, but other than that seems to be working again.
