    will zune associated xbox gamertags ever become avalible again?


    so ive been on xbox and there has been a gamertag ive wanted, when i go and click on the profile it has a white wuestion mark with a red/black background with 0 friends or gamerscore. i did some research and found that accounts with that gamerpicture have been created on zune and then associated with an xbox gamertag automatically. now from what i understand is that zune has been discontinued. now i know microsoft has a 2 year inactivity policy that applies to microsoft accounts. but does a zune account tie into that? and if so when does this 2 year inactivity start? ive seen multiple accounts like this and im just wondering because they appear inactive for probably 10 plus years at this point. but i dojt know what microsoft is doing with the zune account database. they may have forgot zune made xbox accounts.? i just want some answers

    :)

    Tezzerrific gives the best explanation. As long as they sign into that Microsoft account even once every two years (to check new emails for instance) then the tag will essentially always be theirs.

    no as they are part of a Microsoft account, if that Microsoft account is in use in someway then the tag will never be freed up, as an example, I have an account with a gamertag attached that has 0 gamerscore and no games played but shamefully did use it for zune sometimes (shudders), have had that account for well over 15 years, as long as I sign into that account periodically then that gamertag is mine ( and i use that account for other things, primarily my private email)

    Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

    My name is welcome to the community.

    Hello KadenRemme, this forum is public viewing and unfortunately as independent consultants we do not have access there is some data like this nor how Microsoft handles discontinued products like Zune.

    With regard to account inactivity, the Zune profile, or even Xbox profile, may be inactive, or if the person doesn't use the account to play but uses the account email normally, so it's not disabled.

    However, Xbox support might provide you with more detailed information.
