    Unfair pricing for gamertag changes.


    Okay, so I simply want to change my gamertag, which I haven't done so in years. Unfortunately, I can't do so since I have to pay $10 to do so. Why would I spend money on a name change, when literally any other gaming platform lets you do it for free? The
    fact that you have to pay to do it is quite unfair. I'm assuming you guys at Microsoft are desperate for money. Anyways, I'm hoping this gets changed to a free thing, because let's be honest, nobody is going to pay $10 for a name change.

    :)

    Unfair gamertag change.

    My gamertag was reported and changed to a random generated gamertag which is HappyFoal200157. My original gamertag was
    [Mod Removed], there is nothing offensive about that so I don't see why it was changed? The HH stands for Hail Hail as in the line from the song "Hail Hail the Celts are here" the Kevbhoy part is just a nickname and the 88 is the year Celtic
    FC was founded so I would like to know why my name was changed? I can't see any reason why it offend anyone. I would also like a free gamertag change because I feel I've done nothing wrong and have been unfairly reported.

    Do not know where you get the idea that ALL other platforms let you change it for free.

    To my knowledge PS does not let you change it at ALL whatever you set the account up with you have till you close the account.

    As far as Nintendo goes not sure on that one cant find any information on that.

    Yeah im not sure about with Nintendo but i know for a fact you cannot change your psn name on psn because of they way their database is setup. On PSN everything on your account is tied to the PSN name you originally sign up with. Purchased games, your friends
    list, messaging, etc are all tied to the PSN name and changing the PSN name would pretty much break all of that on PSN.

    The price has been the same for years. Be thankful that you can change your Gamertag, as for on other certain platforms you do not have this royalty.
