What is a Gamertag? The Strange Evolution of Gamers' Chosen Identities - Video

In real life, you don’t get to choose your own name. Sure, once you’re an adult you can legally change it, but by then, you’ve already spent a large chunk of your existence already being called something.

But thankfully for the internet and video games, we are all given a second chance.

The opportunity to fully rebrand – the power to create an alter-ego that can express our identity and tell the rest of the world what we are all about.

A gamertag.
