PSN NAME CHANGE

Don't suppose any of you faggots beta tested it and have any experiences you want to share?

>Free from the name I made in 2009

I don't know how to feel about this

pricing is exactly the same as Microsoft's but on Yea ForumstendoGAF it's only bad when Sony does it
btw the first change is free

This. I was going to change my name but I heard it can permanently fuck up shit on the older systems associated with the old name.

WHY WONT MY FUCKING UPDATE DOWNLOAD
SOMEONE'S GONNA GET POOPFEAST420 BEFORE ME

>First charge is free to allow adults to get rid of their edgelord name they made in 07/08

Why would anyone change it a third time?

>N-nintendo!
Maybe the fact I called you a consolecuck should clue you in to what platform I own.

They could have a different store on their console that having as well as the first one makes no difference and still argue between them.

Not worth it, and i really would like to change that shit too.

Why are you Sonyfags so obsessed?

is this only in the states? not seeing the option on my ps4

Steam is the only platform where you can freely change your name as much as you want.

Except this place has been Sonygaf for years, kid

Oh I pray to god it fucks up Fortnite/Epic accounts and kids while cry this weekend after loosing their skins.

They spaghetti coded them onto the psp store.
They spaghetti coded them onto the trophys for ps3.
They spaghetti coded alltogether for vita and then ps4.

Bloodborne, dark souls 2 and 3, and warframe among others have issues with the change that aren't specified.

I love the fag bois on pc claiming they're superior. Even though you have to have 70 different names in pc depending on game or client. Or an unchangeable name. Fucking hate faggot fan boys pc sucks ass for gaming anyway. Had my custom build since 2011 and I can't fucking stand it.

You can hide games now at least

What's the issue with Bloodborne? IDC about losing progress as long as the game/dlc still works

i sense that the "games with issues" thing is going to be blown way out of proportion. in 99% of cases it's probably going to be your name not displaying correctly in some online mode of an early ps4 game. the only game of value with "critical issues" seems to be everybody's golf, but that probably only means your save has a chance of not transferring over or some shit.

I hate name changes. I have never changed my steam name. If you have I'm better than you by default forever.

Wait what the fuck are they really making you PAY for this?

the first change is free. yes it's dumb that after that you have to pay but you must be retarded if you need to change your name twice.

But I'm uncut so I'm in fact way better than you by default.

I am too. I just can't stop winning.

Look at all this Son(y)gger rationalization for shitty business practices.

>10 dorra to update a column in a DB

>lbp3
That game was coded horribly, it has many issues to this day even after all the patches

Oh ok, Yeah if you're dumb enough to want a second change you deserve to give up 10 bucks

they probably tied account ids to names in some odd way otherwise it would never have taken this long nor would there be any issues

what name? spill the beans user!

I'd rather wait a while so there is more info about how it could affect other games

If it really only affects those i'm fine with it

I primarily play on pc. I would disable steam name changes too.

Oh excuse me brother, I assumed you were another one of the many failed trannies on this board. My apologies and God bless.

This shit is inexcusable and none one your faggy excuses can change that.

Because the operating system or its applications weren't originally programmed with this functionality in mind. I'm not defending Snoy, it's their bad decision long ago that has now come to bite them in the ass.

Only reason I want to change mine is because I included my surname. Saying that, part of me wants to leave it as is since it's not like I play online often to begin with.

Sumo Digital is such a shit tier studio. Sony should've given LBP3 to Tarsier, who did the actually good LBP Vita version

Changin the ID seems risky if the game doesnt support it. I dont usually play my older games but it would suck to be locked out my own DLC or lost my savegame

How is it not true? Unless you think Sony's exclusives are on PS+ like a sped.

Give me the fucking option to change my region, I can buy the base game but not dlc for many games, FUCK YOU!!

A lot. Do you really think Sony tested every single PS3/4/Vita game? Doubtful, especially with all the wank that floods PSN daily.

You'd think they'd ask all the devs to try it out.

Which I think is annoying. It means I need to tag everyone on my list.

Like limit it to every sixty days or something, sheesh.

just make an account in that region,buy dlc, download, and then switch back to your main account? isn't it shared between accounts if they are both on the same system?

Want to change because my ID is my first and last name, and although I don't have many digital purchases, losing save data is a huge blow and possible timed dlc I got for free and could lose.

Still no option to change it for me, the fuck

i have bought games for like 200$ over the years (trying to buy the physical copy always, but its hard to resist when there is a -80% discount). I think i can sue them if they refuse the access to the games i bought.

Doesn't accepting that agreement mean you can't sue them?

Not at all. EULA’s, like prenups for example, are hardly magical documents of imperviousness for companies. But still, good luck suing Sony.

if you use steam, you're not better than anyone.

anyone do it? any problems?

>The first change is free
Yeeeeesss! How is Sony so based?

Meanwhile you can't do it with Nintendo at all

Yes you can, and for free.

No. ToS legally can't override your consumer rights.

These results are from the beta testing back in October/November. Many games were tested and posted in their lists.

To expand on this:
Sony, unlike every other company with an id system on the planet, decided to make your actual entered username what is registered in the servers and recognized as the code.
Most places make it a unique number or something like that, with the username just being a cosmetic disguise of it. That's why your steam ID isn't "a gay faggot", it's "11245344.." etc.
With PSN, you really are coded as a gay faggot. This decision was made almost 2 decades ago and it can't be changed unless they completely rewrite the PSN.

So instead of building upon the useless "real first name" system they have and have that act as a mask that people publiclly see over your ID, they decided to try to force the ID change to work, knowing they'd have to go game by game and make everyone game's code work around identifying this new ID and not the old one. That's why it only works with "popular" games as stated in their blog post about it. Thats also why you might lose save or DLC, as some of those purchases won't recognize the new ID.

So lets go over what Sony did this gen

>launched with no games other than Knack
>started charging for online, which they purposefully announced in a video where they made fun of Xbox's dying horse
>increased the price of PS+, which they announced by editing an old blog posts so no one could leave negative comments
>PS+ games started getting shit because they had people by the balls for online access
>took away free PS3 games
>Made their handheld system a peripheral for the PS4 because it failed due to their refusal to support it and ludicrous memory card pricing
>After bloodborne just stopped advertising Japanese games, even exclusive ones that they published (GR2 never got a shot at E3).
>Timed exclusives just like Xbox last gen
>Started censoring japanese games with japanese titty to the point the creator of Senran left
>This also make all Japanese studios give reports in English. Despite them being a Japanese company

>you can revert back to any of your old IDs on a whim
so this doesn't free up the names at all and just makes it worse lol

hold the fuck up. do i need that shit ps plus membership to change my name?? or is it free for all the first time?

It's just a generic trademarked character with no wierd spaces, symbols or numbers, back when PS3 first came out you could snatch almost any iconic name, some like Batman were alsways "unavailable" but any thing under Batman was

People who tested the beta already said there was no problem whatsoever with trophies even on PS3 and Vita.

What games did they try?

I am very confused personally how every account's first and now previous ID names are saved to the account and no one else can use them, but there are still issues in regards to tying your username to your purchases and online play

First is free. Second is $10 the rest are $5

I believe they spaghetti coded it different per fuckin' region aswell. Some regions have really good systems (Japan) because they already had a public tag that was changeable for a while but then they had to remove that because they needed to move everything onto a common source.

Free for everyone

Not really incompetence, just stupidity/naivety. They never expected to ever implement this feature, their network wasn't originally built with it in mind.

That is bad design

This is in the license of every piece of software you have ever purchased, and in the ToS of every digital service you have ever subscribed to.

The $10 stops children from thinking they're being funny and changing their name every few minutes to call someone a fag in their user name.

really? i can revert back ?

They can't let people start using already used names because that would cause a whole clusterfuck.

my name is tanooki_joe . tanooki, from mario. i dont know why i did this

It rolls off the tongue pretty well at least. I wouldn't see any reason to change that other than people thinking you're a furry.

Be aware there’s a chance you can lose your save data and progress in some games. Best to wait for other people to start doing it, and hopefully a list of issues can be compiled so we know what’s affected and what’s not.

so your ps vita and ps3 will use your old ID and you will still have your digital content?

>breaks old games
So why don't they just retire the 'old' ID system but keep it tied to existing accounts, while all games running the modern API use the new system? If they already know which PS4 games are busted by it they can whitelist them to continue using the old name setup.

I hate it.

Actual retards.

I am sooooo fucking glad i can finally change my name but. Why the fuck wasn't this feature here eons ago? They can't even have a stable UI, that shit is laggy as fuck and stutters like a bitch, It also took them decades to fix the awful fucking store search feature.

I’m in the middle of trying to Platinum Dead Rising 1 on PS4, and it’s not even on the list of games they tested out. So now I have to finish getting all the trophies before changing the PSN name I made when I was 13, or I risk losing my save data. What a pain.

so what about ps3 and vita how are they affeced by this?

>giving a fuck about trophies/achievements

Jesus christ, nu/v/

I think playstation is the best console platform but this is just fucking pathetic, they must have gone full retard when psn IDs were implemented

Should've created a good sn you're proud of to begin with. Being able to change your name is retarded and annoying.

>people complain about having to pay for a name change

never understood this.
just make a new account if you care so fucking much. its free to do.

>b-but my digital games!
then just use the gameshare feature with your old account

problem fucking solved, faggots

It's the same reason why steam is popular you fucking boomer. How else are you going to prove you beat the game

you can make notes by your friends name to avoid that issue

Consider the following options:
>don't have retarded RP faggots as steam friends
OR
>give your steam friends nicknames
there, fix'd

>save game data's tied to your account
I hate the PS4 for this.

>You can't take a previously used ID even if that person changed it
>tfw I made a second account years ago to use as my sign in ID and I bought my games on my old ID
>Now I can't change the account that has purchases on it to the name I want
Gee, thanks Sony

Why would i have to prove to some mouthbreathing autists like you that i beat a game?

I am all ears to hear why I shouldn’t use and enjoy a feature that’s been implemented by Sony, and now might be fucked up by Sony because they don’t have any foresight when creating an online service.

>you can make notes by your friends name to avoid that issue

How

>first one free, pay for the next change
>only works for games released on or after 2018 (remasters don't count)
>PS3/PSP/Vita doesn't count
>by doing this you also might lose some trophies and saves
>and you'll lose purchases like games, DLC or cosmetic shit
lmao good shit Sony

it is.

>Paying $10 for what amounts to a completely brand new PSN account that you could've made for free
Only Sony could get away with charging people for this shit.

You don’t have to do anything you moron. At best it adds some replayability to a game. If developers give a shit they can even make fun or interesting ones.

Why doesn't Sony allow this? I remember being able to do it for MGS4. Was it trophies? Did trophies ruin everything?

DR1 had some pretty fun achievements though, minus the one where you had to grind a ton of zombie kills.

Do you want a free game as compensation? No? Then shut the fuck up

go to friends list, hit the drop down arrow by a person's name, go to manage, add a nickname.

So when will the name change be up? Is there a specific time?

My ass it's here.

>i-i-its your job to keep track!
Fuck off you idiots. You shouldn't have made up some retarded name in the first place. The only reason you want to change your name is because you're trying to hide from people you've pissed off.

Need a merge option maybe in 15 years. I also have an account with a bunch of shit on it.

>actually flexing to other human beings that you have beaten a videogame
lmao @ ur life

Because maybe you want to have some bragging rights to your friends? Shit, if someone platinums a game, that tells me right there that they probably really enjoyed it. Sure, some people might be autistic about it, but that’s their prerogative.

Microsoft has been doing the same for years.
Why are you so desperate to hate Sony? Is it because they're absolutely dominating this gen?

Or you could just want a name change cause you dont want your name anymore? You seem pretty buttmad that it's free on PC lmao

Bait

who the fuck cares whether someone believes you or not? it's a video game

Bait

Reading isn't your forte is it? Read my OP before replying.

They said MIGHT lose that stuff. Not will.
I'm sure a long phonecall with PSN support would fix the issues.

I did read your OP retard and you were given a solution to fix it. But no, instead you got buttmad, probably because the solution is pretty easy. Seems to me that's why you're mad.

>get a console as a kid
>make up username with a bunch of XxXxX shit in it
>grow up and build a PC as an adult
>make a username that’s not childish
>still play consoles for the occasional exclusive or play with friends
>want to consolidate my online handles under one name, but can’t do that because Sony still hasn’t fucking figured out their online service
It’s first-world problems for sure, but I would appreciate being able to do it.

It's not up yet you retards. Mods delete the thread.

>might
that shouldn't even be a fucking problem in the first place you stupid nigger
how the fuck can you change your name on PSN and possibly lose your own games
even Nintendo found a way to change your username on Switch, how the fuck can't Sony do it

>they won't be free'ing old inactive accounts?
then what's the point?
you're still stuck with xXX's and 56124573403740 on every name because every good name was taken

>Try to cancel my PSN account
>Sony sends me a mail with a fucking phone number demanding that I call them in order to delete my account

Isn't this illegal? Can I sue them?

>hurr you're just mad its free on steam but not psn
Nigger I use steam and I said I stick with the same sn through everything I use despite being able to change it at anytime if I ever desired. Why must you be a fucking retard?

nice twitter meme, faggot

A name change you retard. That's the point

ok DickSuck999. have fun with your new name

100 million units sold. This makes you seethe. Every day you wake up in a world where Sony is still fucking winning, and you CANNOT accept this.

$10 a name change.

>find out that you were the retards all along
>Start damage controlling hard
lol

Ima need proof

I just don't get who at Sony thought it would be a good idea all those years ago to use your account name as your account ID. And now I'm realizing that's most likely why account names also can't use spaces

Fucking based. PClets and Nintenlards seething that Sony is taking their own features away from them. They have nothing left.

>making stuff up to feel like you aren't such a cuck that you have to do all the work yourself when it shouldn't be your job in the first place
Lmaoing at your life right now.

If there’s one thing Sony has been consistent at, it’s screwing up online services.

Oh yes, it truly is based. Now that would be $9.99 USD / CAD + tip. Don't forget we already mentioned that you might lose your paid content so it's not our fault if it happens!

When does it go live

>change name
>friends delete me because they don't recognize me

They didn't think or have any ideas, they just hired some retarded code monkeys and gave them loose directions on what they wanted PSN to do, and let 'er rip.

They say that name change isn't supported on PS3/Vita. What exactly do they mean? Will your old name still appear on PS3/Vita online or will you get the changed name, but you're fucked if anything goes wrong?

Yes, in fact
Probably the former

Real talk here:

why do you care so much to change your name?
are you really that embarrassed about the name you originally took?

La creatura...

Possible reasons:
>name was made when they were a child
>want to consolidate online handles to a single name
>just feel like changing it

People pronouce it wrong because it's an acronym/shortened version of what I wanted.

how about charge $5 to change avatar or something like that

People always assume I'm bad because I have a generic name Joe498. I wanna change it but I don't trust Sony.

Gaming nowadays is all about building an ecosystem. The Playstation ecosystem, the Xbox ecosystem, the Steam ecosystem, whatever
If there's something aboiut that ecosystem that doesn't feel right, your username for example, you will feel bad you engaging into that spectific place
People who turn up their PS4 and see their dumb name they choose un a hurry 12 years ago will be pleased to have a little more agency over the way they engage into this ecosystem

>not going with CumGuzzler69

People may not like or agree with things they did a decade ago. Naming your PSN account CloudSephiroth4829 is probably not something you'll like when you're 5-10 years older

I'm no longer a weeb. That's enough reason.
Also,
>or choose from one of the suggestions
What could that be?

But they had such a nice lead over the others how could they fuck up this bad

>people should only cater to my needs because I'm a gay NEETboy. They should only make changes to their lives under my permission!
rofl. you NEETs are hilarious

>people actually defending having to pay to change your name

>tfw I made a new account months with a name I like, but I can't use it on my old one now
I fucked up.

>its my need when its the platforms/persons fault for not adequately making it known a name was changed
Jesus fuck you're an idiot.

Please give me terrible name ideas thank u

>Breaks Everybody's Golf
Fuck me. Someone tell me what actually happens instead of just "Critical issues lol our system is literally that bad"

I created a username that included sissy trap boo and keep getting hit on by faggots. Try something like that it's hilarious

Some years back I made this name generator that uses blacklisted Dark Souls 2 words.

Right on.

keep in mind your old psn name still shows up

It is your fault considering you can just look at a person's name history, like I just said int he previous post.
