I know it's been posted a billion times... and I apologize but I'm hoping for a change..
See... I literally stumbled on Stadia "late to the party" looking for something to play during covid.. (I had never even heard of Stadia at all). and if I had known..I'd have definitely been a founder. No blame for me being out if the loop pointed anywhere but at me.. BUT... I still say that pros,.. like myself,... SHOULD have the option to have or even purchase a tagless name (maybe an option for Pro Premium or Plus idk)...And even if the one you originally want has been taken, you can atleast keep trying inputs till you land on one that hasn't..One that's all yours.. I'm not complaining so please don't take it that way.. Stadia it literally all I play now, I've brought over 15 new clients from my share link. Im a HUGE supportive member (financially and socially) and I feel I should be able to cut off those numbers and be recognized for my contributions.. God I hold that doesn't sound conceded.. simply said and don't laugh at me but... I love the heck outta Google, and I love Bungie even more.. they have given me a great hobby that helps me more than I can explain..
I just wish I wasn't late.. it sucks.. and honestly..I'm jealous and it frustrates me to no end..
Thanks for listening, this community is awesome.
I feel you and understand your wish. If I were in your position, it would bother me to the bones, too.
As you already mentioned, a clean username was a thank you for the founders, the early-adopters and it was a promise made by Google to us.
Hence, I fear that you have to keep your numbers.
Anyway, enjoy Stadia
and don't let a few numbers ruin your experience.
