Gamers are hard sex videocomplaining their real names are being exposed on Xbox One, and Microsoft is on the case.
According to a Reddit thread on Thursday, many players were finding their gamertags subbed out for their real names.
SEE ALSO: Xbox Live is down and players are *pissed*"I woke up this morning and someone told me 'Hey your last name is showing,'" wrote Redditor Nadia C. "I thought it was weird because I have my settings to block from showing my real name."
"Everyone's Name is showing. Big streamers, friends, recent players. I went through my entire friend list and I know for a fact none of these people have ever showed their name before."
