it is 2023 almost 2024 and we still cant move a xbox live account to a different Microsoft...

they merged it all in the when Xbox one came out, you used to be able to change the Microsoft account associated with the Xbox account but this has been merged for over 10 years now.

i understand the whole for security reasons but with 2 factor authentication and other security measures theres ways to confirm that the transfer is being allowed by the account owner. theres zero reason for it to not be possible. Im sure my dad would be willing to go to a microsoft store with me to sort this out so you could confirm it in person but of course they were all closed.

its a billion dollar company i'm sure they can find a way. of course its easier for them to say **** the customer though.

Honestly i dont think this is something that would ever be allowed. There are ways people have had their accounts compromised even with 2 step verification enabled so even that isnt 100%.

The other reason would likely be licensing. Whenever you purchase the licensing for a digital game you are usually purchasing said license for use on that specific account (if youve ever looked through licensing terms/policies of other developers). So its likely due to legal/licensing reasons as well as far as why this isn't an option.

I honestly can't see this ever being an option.

You can't, you don't seem to know how xbox works

Your ms account is your xbox acocunt you can't seperate it

You can however change your alias email

Your ms /xbox account holds all your purchases you move away from.that acocunt you lose your purchases

Basically your ma account is your IOT OF everything to do with MS including Windows tablets phones

Iot is internet of things whrre services are intergrated

With one provider one account

Sony uses ro do it too till they stopped offering music and movies but they didn't provide email service though after the recent.hacks you probably wouldn't want Sony managing it

Back in 2011 and 2016 and this year even

they can still disable disc based games by not providing the day one updates and disconnecting servers, and a lot of new games only come with man installer on the disc and none of the game.

They aren't trying to change the email address, no. they are trying to separate the Xbox account from the Microsoft account. Basically, when they first started playing games, they used their parent's account (like many children do) and continued over the years, spending money to games etc on that account...now they are older, they want to have those games, gamertag etc on their own separate account...which can't be done due to MS and Xbox accounts being the same thing.
