Still haven't been able to understand why it costs 800msp to change a gamertag...other than the obvious, "It's Microsoft..." answer.

I could be wrong ...

I think originally, you couldn't change your gamertag at all.  To make people happy, they later created the option, but made you pay to prevent abuse/scams/etc.

But this generation, all of your gaming history and stuff carries with you regardless of what your gamertag is, so the abuse/scams/etc. factor isn't as likely.  I think now we're just experiecing the "Companies will charge what people are willing to pay" price theory.

Consumers control the market, they just keep forgetting.  I don't blame a company for taking money from stupid people.  I blame stupid people for making companies charge more than I'm willing to pay.

That's why i made an effort to make a name i wouldn't have to change. Instead of oXII P3nIsM4n IIXo, which i would have eventually shortened to just oX P3nIs Xo.

who'd have known Failed would become a world brand!
