I give up.

Ya know what's funny is that when I saw the deal and planned to post about it, for a moment I asked myself "How will this one go wrong for Claude?" until I saw that it was a Microsoft store sale, which, verification annoyance aside, are super straightforward.

I've got to hand it to ya, man. I'm impressed!

My working hypothesis is that I'm flagged in the MS system, due to the bizarro "we're routing all Bungie support questions to your home line" problem I dealt with for a decade. It's possible that the flag is harmless (that is, that all of these failures are an unintended side effect of some sort of block put on my account for my own benefit 5 or 10 years ago), or it's possible that it's intentional and malicious, someone's idea of "fuck you for tying up so many resources when you could have just changed your phone number and saved us all a lot of headaches". I wouldn't bet against either of those. :)
