    history lost

    did you sign in with a different epic account, as all skins and ingame progress is held on the epic account not the xbox live account.

    Why, ON EARTH, does changing an XBox gamertag cost 9 dollars?

    You forget that's only in android NOT the individual games

    Your apps and gamesdon't care about your Google name it's only used for Google and games global leader which don't affect games leaderboards

    Those just affect google and your gamesaves but that has nothing to do with your name it's linked to your account which other then your progress doesn't affect ingame or appmail

    Your ingame name is what affects your game not your Google account other then saves and it's only your email linked to your Google account

    So what about arenanet or nexon and the thousands of launchers that uses microtransactions for name changes and that is a thing

    Fyi my Google playgames account is dazedoperations45 I can guarantee that if someone mailed me in a game they wouldn't get me as my name ingame in most games is

    You only mentioned 3 other games but if you google mmorpgs for pc there is thousands not

    And first name change is free others require microtransactions or quest item

    Error on gamertag ? (Halo MCC)

    Why did it say okay though on the first try ?

    That is what I do not understand. It went though no problem.

    Can you look into it ?

    I had a random name on account creation, then I typed my own one, it did not update ingame, then I changed again and showed the number thingy. It had no numbers before !
