Sorry Un1k0rn - I thought you were.
Hopefully those concerned will be along to discuss, if they're still active![]()
I have a feeling I know what they would say.
....
TL;DR: The name Jeff Jameson on the Xbox platform belongs to me, and there is no legal case for it to be changed as it is fully compliant with Microsoft ToS.
I'm not sure about legalese but that's how I understand it too. Basically what Frogsfriend said a bit earlier - no one at FD really thought it through.
Enjoy the weight that the name brings, CMDR Jeff Jameson - make your granddad proud![]()
Only if someone else is using the specific name they reserved. Which they aren't, so they can't.
Seeing problems where they don't exist?
Never has someone had to change their name on Xbox just because a game exists.
There is a reason for this.
Anyway, yes. I will enjoy the name. Fly safe. o7
That tier had a LIMITED NUMBER OF SLOTS, for a reason. So that every unikorn and his dog isn't running about with lore based names on launch day in the same way that you get 20 versions of "gimli, legolas sephiroth" and all the other wannabe names in most other mmo's.
I wanted my lore based name, because I've been using it as my gamer tage for 30 years, and they refused, others were too.
Now, you can have it for the cost of a name change - there are quite serious ramifications to this:
A) FDev knew that they would have no control over Xbox gamer tags, but decided that they were going to sell the "jameson" lore name anyway to increase revenue. If you try and tell me they were not thinking of adding console support before the KS started, I'll call you a liar to your face. Xbox was ALWAYS in the plan, they just didn't tell us.
B) FDev didn't know AND more importantly, didn't care enough to check before adding that to a pledge tier, which was absolutely guaranteed to get some people to buy it.
We're not talking pocket change here, it's a LOT of money.
Now those few players with "Jameson" in thier gamertag have no special meaning any more - and the next Jameson you see, instead knowing it's a player who paid a LOT of money for the priviledge of having that RP lore connection - it's just another dude who paid £8.
The entire thing has been devalued to worthless, and the RP value of the name, meaningless.
I'd be pretty peed off if I was one of them.
I think some kickstarter supporters, will be justified in asking for a £1500 refund
A pretender - a charlatan, a namechange does not a heritage give, just like those people who buy family coats of arms and "titles" that have no history.
(btw my family has both).

We're not talking pocket change here, it's a LOT of money, and the tier was worded to make backers beleive that their "Jameson" tag would be ABSOLUTELY EXCLUSIVE TO THEM.
Now those few players with a legit "Jameson" in thier gamertag have no special meaning any more - and the next Jameson you see, instead knowing it's a player who paid a LOT of money for the priviledge of having that RP lore connection - it's just another dude who paid £8.

I'd be pretty peed off if I was one of them.
Because of this I've now got legit grounds to request my lore name, because the exclusivity / reserved of "lore" names has been broken.
For goodness sake. Another fuss over nothing. People got their reserved names on the PC platform and they won't see anyone on other platforms so none of that matters.
Please move on to more important matters like open v solo.

Can someone explain what is so special about "jameson"? The stupid interwebs keep sending me to whiskey sites. -_-
Wait... people paid 1500 to for a video game?
Seriously?
If so... lol
