New to Xbox and somehow received an offensive Gamertag! I have to pay to change??? BS!!!

HugeTittieLover · Oct 29, 2016

First time with xbox and signing in. I never used this before and have a gamertag that I never set up and feel is extremely offensive! I want to change it but it is telling me I have already used my free gametag change. I just purchased this xbox! I have
never had xbox before and do not want this gamertag! I don't know how I got assigned "HugeTittleLover" as a gamer tag, and I want it changed. Why should I have to pay to change this? As stated, I only purchased this xbox this weekend and have never had xbox
before, so have never had a need for an xbox account. I have a Microsoft account, but have never had xbox before. And, I have never changed any gametags in this lifetime or any other!

This is an extremely offensive game tag and I demand the ability to change it. I have a family of young children and I do not want them using this system with such an offensive game tag!

this is bs

it told me to change my gamertag because it isn't allowed. This is not offensive at all. What is the purpose in making me change MY gamertag when people have worse gamertags and YOU don't make THEM change it.

Hey there, it would appear that someone found that your gamertag was offensive and may have filed a complaint. And now you're being asked to change your gamertag because it was found to violate the code of conduct for Xbox Live. If you have further concerns
about this issue, please post in the below forum to inqure with the Xbox Enforcement Team.

The free change is only available if you're changing a randomly generated tag you are given when you first create your account. I'm not sure how that gamertag came to be, but it's not one of Microsoft's randomly generated tags which is why it won't let you
change it for free. There is no other way to get a free change. The only other thing you could do is create a new account.

just make a new account

If the Xbox was second hand that would explain a dodgy name!

I am wondering why the xbox team changed my online name because of a offensive name apparently. Why would they change it for you??? Why not force the change of a name when the person logs in??? Now you have to pay $11 for a bloody name change because
xbox decided to change it which is bs tbh, i rather that then getting a [Mod Removed – Profanity] made up bot name

The used to allow you to change your gamertag for free when it was deemed offensive but too many people took advantage if that and changed their gamertag to something just as equally offensive. Due to this they now force change your name to a randomly generated
gamertag and then make you pay to change it again after that.

Unfortunately that was a case of the few ruining it for the many.

Forced gamertag changes only happen if the gamertag is offensive. There is no way to change it back, so you either have to pay for a new gamertag or stick with it.

"If a player is unhappy with the assigned Gamertag and wishes to change it, he or she may purchase a new Gamertag through the standard Gamertag change process. However, the Gamertag that received the forced change will remain unobtainable."

this isn't fair, because the name wasn't offensive & just because someone got mad over nothing... Now i have to pay 9.99
