The reason why you can’t change your PSN name
Sony Computer Entertainment America president and CEO Shawn Layden explained the reason in an interview with IGN.
“We don’t want to make it so that you can go in, grief a bunch of people in Far Cry, change your avatar, change your username, go into CoD and grief everybody over there. We want to stop that,” he said.
“[We want to do name changing] in a way that’s transparent, but also don’t let people morph themselves, either.
“And yeah, it’s terrible that you have to make decisions on a service sometimes by optimizing around the bad actor. I hate that we have to do that. So we’re trying to balance that between… the 99 percent of users going to have a good experience, how can we help make that happen without giving one more tool to the bad actor to go in and ruin the experience for others?”
Layden added that name-changing and other features are on Sony’s roadmap for future updates.
