The names with # must turn so many people off, giving us a number makes us feel like a number the founders get a specaial badge is that not enough?
Even hide the numbers and make it a private thing, so many founders have likely abandonded this already time to treat us all as equal, no.
I think it's fine. The founders edition has been sold at the time with the expectations that users get their own username without numbers, which was also a reason why people have bought it. Therefore I think it's still fine that this system is staying as it is.
It's also not as bad with the numbers, sure they might be annoying here and there, but it's also something that is kind of normal here on Stadia, so most people here have numbers, so it's not the worst thing I believe.

@Chufu not the worst thing maybe but still a turn off which is not really needed for a platform which is struggling hard to attract anyone new and probably has 500 founders left, a high end estimate imo.
Came back to the stadia for FIFA, playing the same 10 people the last week, millions play on xbox or ps saw 1 founder or maybe 2 in stadia version, its pathetic maybe they should make the pkayers feel like peopke and not numbers all I'm saying.
It's not uncommon to have numbers after a username on a service like this and I think it will actually become more common in the future.
The numbers serve a practical purpose of allowing multiple people to have the same name, for example you could have up to 9999 people called Steve as their username because each would have a different number after. It saves people coming up with names like XxStevexX or Steve1990 or the cursed St3v3_1337_noobhunter. Basically, it just means more people can have the username they want rather than looking around for a "free" username.
Founders are essentially Steve#0001 with the #0001 hidden and in some games, they even still show that number. This was just a small perk for backing Stadia early and doesn't harm any other users.
