Forums - Sony - PS4: Name Changing Coming Soon? (Speculation)

Please, before you all go crazy and start attributing this to me as if I'm saying it's 'for real' just understand I'm only posting this as something 'to consider'.

Someone on GAF made an interesting post:

Then someone drilled down further:

To which he answered:

But my custom background and my folders didn't change.I hope I didn't lose my saved.Fuck!!!

 

Just think about that for a moment. His two accounts were somehow merged. It's not a huge leap to imagine the possibility of creating a new account and having that merged with an older account, meaning it should be possible to change your username. This could be a glitch or it could be a hidden feature they're still working on. I just found it interesting.



 

The PS5 Exists. 


Around the Network

I think it's deeper than that. "They" know that they are both of him.

Sounds cool. If, say, you are GribbleGrunger on PSN and I made an account called Gribble_Grunger, I could get access to all of your stuff.

Whatever you say, RolStoppable.

Pretty amazing that you still can't do this on PSN.
