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


    This is utterly ridiculous. I have seen the excuse for this being, "Well it takes up data space" and etc, but it isn't that much dataspace. I make my gamer tag but some random numbers are put in my name, ruining the tag, and when I try to change it is shows Xbox trying to mooch of my money just to change a name. How ridiculous. Be like other games or companies that let you change them for free. This price is not needed.

    (Correct me if I'm wrong about the data statement. I may possibly be very wrong, I don't know. Sorry if this statement seems mad or angry, I am not, just annoyed.)

    :)

    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
