  1. Screw Microsoft, they completely destroyed my Xbox account


    Back when I was a young lad, back in 2010/2012, I got Xbox Live, and created a separate email for said account, on Hotmail. I bought quite a lot of stuff with Microsoft points including DLC, Avatar rewards, ect. Supported the crap out of Xbox and loved it.
    Then I quit playing Xbox for sometime.

    Now trying to come back to it to relive some memories, I find out I cannot sign in, as I forgot the password to that, now 8 year old email. No biggy. Forgot my password button. "I'm sorry, your email address does not exist." Huh? It got purged after being
    inactive for so many years. Which, wouldn't be a problem for any throw away email, but this has time and money invested in it. I contact support, who tells me to fill out an account recovery form. Which doesn't seem to cover Xbox accounts. And cannot help
    me get my Hotmail account back, as it is now apparently gone forever.

    So now I have a Xbox Live account, with probably a couple hundred dollars of stuff on it, and absolutely zero way to ever access it again. This it what being a loyal customer gets you I guess.

    Any hope at all for getting this account back from that void? Anyone?

    :)

    Completely destroyed my disk

    Well, your disc is destroyed. Install your games next time and every time. You won't get this fixed--Microsoft is denying any design flaws, and all you get told is that you probably moved your console or it wasn't on a flat surface...even though a bunch
    of third parties proved that to be false, and that the console eats discs even when used properly.

    1st question is this was support able to find your account with your gamertag that you had on that account? If so that means the account is still open and possibly you are misspelling the email address with one that the system is not able to find. hence
    its giving you that message.

    if support was not able to find an account for you with your gamer tag then yes its possible that it was closed due to inactivity.

    now if support was able to find an account for you and they can verify that account ownership then they would be able to get into the account enough to tell you what the email address is for the account.

    emails do expire after awhile it is up to you to keep your account open even by checking your emails or by updating your email

    Not service let's you keep an email if you aren't actively using ir

    Most I think it is is 2 years max

    I'm having issues with changing my email and the alias system

    So there is absolutely no way I can add my current email onto the one with my xbox account?

    Can I call Microsoft support to resolve the issue or am I completely screwed and now my xbox account is tied to my gmail?

    How can I get my account back

    So what you are saying is that if they completely took over my account by switching our email I am completely screwed

    Trying to change email address on Minecraft account

    I take it I can not transfer the Xbox profile to another Microsoft account? As a parent that set up the game when my kids were young, it should be transferable once the child comes of age.

    So is it possible then to delete gamer tags /Minecraft profiles and restart completely so that they can use their current emails? Or will that screw up my Xbox account?
