Checkpoint Intimates: The Gamertag Conversation

Video Games

Checkpoint Intimates is a weekly podcast where two members of the team go one-on-one on a topic that they both feel strongly about, talking in a more deeper and, yes, intimate context.

This week, Elliot and Cam are on board to discuss what usernames people use when playing video games – commonly known as their Gamertag. Why do people choose certain usernames? Does much thought go into it? In many cases a gamertag on a service is permanent and unable to be changed. Sometimes there is a fee that is charged for the right to modify it. This means you could theoretically be stuck with the same username for years and years.
