    Fee changing gamertag


    Why is it a fee for changing gamertag more than once?

    Children tends to change gamertag, nickname now and then. It's in there nature.

    The fee is about 1/6 or 1/7 part of a new game. So if you change gamertag 6-7 times it's the cost of a new game. What is the motivation for that?

    :)

    What is the justification behind charging to change your gamertag?

    Free gamertag change was abuse so much in the past, hence a fee to prevent trolls changing GT every 6 seconds.

    What do you think about the $8 price tag for a gamertag change? (Discussion)

    I think its fair. The fee should cover the admin cost in changing your gamertag and serves as a barrier to stop people changing every few days or weeks.

    Fee to change Gamertag

    I figured these would be the types of responses I'd get.

    The problem is they've changed the constraints you what you can use for a gamertag.

    When I used my free change, I couldn't make it what I wanted, after the changes I can now make it how I wanted, but I'd have to pay to do it.

    That's my issue more than anything.
    Huh you mean the suffixes ? What did you expect if you want no suffixes come up with a unique name or change the spelljng so it would.be truely unique

    changing Gamertag fee

    Hello Angry, sorry to hear you're having trouble with your gamertag. If you're asking about the recent change you made then it can take up to a week for all changes to fully take effect. You can try deleting then redownloading your gamertag to see any immediate changes.

    If you're asking about past gamertag changes I'm afraid no one here would be able to help with that but if it's about a free change that is only time limited when you first create your tag

    Not only that but it would be abused like crazy with people creating offensive gamertags.

    The fee is perfectly fine in my opinion.

    Fee to change Gamertag

    Not really, it is what it is. I believe anyone choosing a new gamertag should put some serious thought into it before accepting/changing it as it is their unique ID. If it were free, no doubt the system would be inundated constantly with frivolous gamertag
    change requests that could put strain on the service. Thats just my thought on the matter :)
