Why do you have to pay to change your xbox username?

You pay to change on most services only steam would be the exception

And the idea is to prevent people from constantly changing for every variation they can think of

Plus consequences

For making bad namrs

If someone chooses a obvious bad name what's the point of punishing them if they can not think it over

With consequences they would think more clearly on their choice

Fyi too many forced name changes = permanent suspension

Hello, Ryan Lesko Thank you or contacting us here on Microsoft Community

Now you have to pay to make changes to your username on Xbox.

The only way you can get a free username change is if you were given a random generated username when you created your account and your changing you username for the first time.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused!

Hope this helps; have a great rest of the day

Why not ust put a limit of how many times you can change your username? Seems better unlike having to pay which is very dumb

Hello,

You can change your xbox username 1 time for free but after you use them you have to pay for the change.

Just realized it says my name anyways, guys please don't take it.!
