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

im not gonna argue with you kid, i have nnever seen any other places where i have to pay to change name simple

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

android uses your google name which the user id can't be changed anyway. ios uses the apple id which the user id can't be changed. so therefore not relevant.

the fact that so many online services allow name changes to take place; be it instantly and at anytime or time delayed makes xbox, sony and battlenet look greedy.

most online games too like world of tanks, startrek and more also allow free name changes with a max amount of changes in a certain period or time delayed.

I’m very confused as to what your trying to say. It doesn’t make much sense, and the spelling makes it harder to understand.

You forget about the other platforms

You are talking about 4 platforms vs bnet.sony nintendo Arena net

Thousands of games on pc that charges

You.do realize there is a reason for.charging likemyou do.in real.life.right ?

Consequences

You change your name you should seriously think about it you wouldn't if.it was free and.consequences when you make a bad name and result.in a forced namechange and then impulsively do another bad name just because it is.free

Did you know that multiple forced.name.changes can result.in a.permanent suspension of said account

Do you know what a nightmare that would.be ? Oh they didnt like my name so let's change it with a minor spelling change

People already wonder why they can't reuse a bad name

A free namechange they would only do it on impulse

The cost is to.stop you from randomly changing your name just because you feel like it

And make you think about it before spending 10 bucks or did you forget that's what happens when you change your name legally because all of the things you have to update and the consequences like being able to find you

If you think 1-2 weeks changes anything.it doesn't people still.change their names kn impulse even with paid

But when they are forced.to choose another name.for 10 bucks they take it seriously hopefully not with trying to use the previous name
