You can't put 'Bezos' or 'Amazon' in your New World character name

From PC Gamer: "The first thing I did in Amazon's New World was see if I could make fun of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos with my username, because of course that's what I did, but Amazon was one step ahead of me. New World doesn't allow the use of "Bezos" or "Amazon" in your player name. I had my heart set exploring the world as "Jeff Bezos' Wallet." Now what am I supposed to do?

After confirming that variants of Bezos like "JeffB," "Bez0s," and "Be Zos" were also locked out, I tried just going by "Amazon." That word's not allowed either. These names are clearly not locked because other players have already claimed them. When a name is already taken, it says, "This name is in use." Names which include the words Amazon and Bezos, however, "cannot be used," which is also what New World says when you type in swear words."

I wonder if this was the devs decision or if it came from the top.
Either way it really telling when you censor your own game.
Cowards!

Without looking into it i'm pretty sure it's so people don't try and scam others by pretending to be employees lol.

Simple fix being that users who are employees would have a special symbol on their character or user name. I remember years ago playing Resistance 2 online and Insomniac employees had a moon symbol before their name.

If they were gonna get into game development. They should've started with single player games imo

Is it really a review bomb if the game deserves it?

What makes a console MMO more preferable to a PC one?

Christopher363d ago

Better controls (I hate keyboard heavy games) and no need for chat communication. So, mostly a preference of how I want to enjoy my online games. I don't want to be typing or clicking buttons. Just holding a controller, chatting when I want (but hearing others when needed in raids even if I'm not). It also tends to be a much better UI. Lot less clutter without the unnecessary hot bars and chat UI and whatnot. Most PC-focused MMOs have a lot of button pressing for abilities that doesn't make it more fun, just more tedious I find.
