Why am I CHARGED to change my gamertag?!

I don't see why you need $13.45!! TO CHANGE A NAME. I want to know why I'm charged so much, I don't see why it can't be free.

Gamertag

I want to change my gamertag, but i don't have cc to pay. I also getting hate messages.

My question, why gamertag change is charged while other gaming sites didn't?

 

Gamertag changed for no apparent reason

Hello, I would like to know why my gamertag was changed without my consent and what I can do to change it back or change it to something of my own without being charged.

 

If changing your GamerTag was free, everyone would abuse the name change.

I think the price is reasonable.

 

Every profile takes up server space,which costs money.

If gamertag changes were free then nearly everyone would just be changing their tags willy nilly.

Xbox live would be littered with gamertags beginning & ending in xxxx or zzzz because a lot of people have no imagination.

Be thankful you can change your gamertag on xbox live,other platforms don't let you change your gamertag at all.

 

And according to your activity feed, this is how you spent that $13.45:

Blitz gam1mg is now known as Blitz Gam1ng

Wow.

 

That's not very good reasoning when a single profile would end up costing something like $0.0000007 per year for the server space. Changing the name associated with a tag does not make any difference in the amount of space it consumes, unless the new name
happens be longer but even then it's a couple of bytes.

Bingo.

 

This. Last time I checked my friends list, I had close to 100 friends and over 100 stalk... followers. If even half of them could change their GTs "willy nilly", it'd make having a friends list almost useless.
