IS SINGLE PLAYER GAMING REALLY DEAD, OR IS IT JUST BS OF THE GAMING INDUSTRY.

[VSW]

They give people a random name then give a free change if you can't think of something that's not in use yet. I choose Wee Wee WINKEY and that was free then a few weeks ago I wanted a better name but I had to pay $10 so I said fuck it. Even though I didn't use my free name change.

When i 1st got a 360 it was the being of the era so to speak lol, as in all gamers were coming from the PS2/XBOX original.
So at that time i didn't realise the name i put in would be for a gamer tag, i thought i was naming a character i created for Tenchu Z.

I agree paying for a name change is stupid. I wish I could transfer my gamerscore from my offline/ corrupt profile to my online one I had alittle over 56,000 score about 5,000 achievements.

People see gamerscore or trophys as stupid and worthless but I don't I see it as a accomplishment of beating a game on the hardest difficulty or so.

I'm not into trophies or achievements & feel they're an extremely cheap substitution to in-game unlockable rewards. But it's ridiculous not to have some way for gamers to change their tag or transfer everything to a new account free, by the way of something like a transfer password.

Say a gamer has an account with an unwanted name, or corrupted profile, etc.
Well there could be an option in either account management, or online where a gamer logs into their PSN or XBLive account then select transfer, type in a transfer password (not account password) so that way it would prevent thieves from easily transferring content from stolen accounts.

The gamer then could select a new account as the sole user of the transferred content.

I don't think i would circumvent banned accounts.

When I saw that corrupt logo/icon I was pissed that's hundreds if not thousands of hours playing and unlocking achievements gone.

That's as bad as losing copy protected saves simply because a gamer had to replace a console.
I my PS3 situation i told you about...........

....................Well before that I got back into DarkSouls 2, & DarkSouls 2 has an enemy respawn limit.
I empty every enemy except a few minor ones, meaning they stopped respawning & I was building up material to improve weapons, building up resources, items, etc before i went to NG+.
And my HDTV had to get repaired, then my PS3 situation etc etc.

I basically lost all copy protected saves.
Hours of gameplay lost.
..............................XENOVERSE, i had 4 characters, two were level 90. I had everything, techniques, attacks, millions in zeni. So i could buy everything in the shops twice & that's after i've already had everything.

All lost because of copy protected saves.
