I did it for a crypto exchange, but that was for KYC / AML verification and I intentionally chose an exchange that's regulated by my country's KYC/AML regulator, so I was expecting to have to do it.

Giving up that much PII for a game is insane. I'd uninstall it without even thinking. Any industry that's not regulated to require photo ID when they're asking for it doesn't need to ask for it.
