Changes: Custom Nametags

It might be one of the worst monetization attempts I've ever seen.

  • If forced upon everyone, it would become irritating
  • If hiding colored names is allowed, the people purchasing them aren't actually getting the personal expression they paid for (a scam)
  • The prices are too high and arbitrary (and temporary?)
  • The customization isn't even smartly done. You could just provide a customizable gradient instead of 30 arbitrary premade patterns. Microsoft WordArt was like 20 years ago, guys.

The icons over names may have some merit, but there are better things you could provide with name colors. For instance, friends' names are green. Or designated members of the room's organization (if you had organizations). Or different friend groups.

The early internet, up through the MySpace era, was plagued with excessive customization and eyesores. We didn't really need nametags looking like a sidebar ad from the '00s. Avatars are individualistic enough (though of course men could use more than one suit).

If you must keep the features as they are, at least reconsider the pricing approach:

  1. Keep them temporary but a flat price across the board. Let users decide how far they want to take the customization (ideally with better tools)
  2. Make the tag purchase permanent

But because you can't spare my eyes and grant people personal expression at the same time, the only ethical, non-predatory approaches are:

  1. Remove the new nametag feature
  2. Keep it, but make it free
  3. But seriously, just remove it
