  2. This allows users to:

    reclaim their chosen username after account deletion

    reset identity-linked data for individual games

    preserve purchases, licenses, and financial records

    avoid destructive account deletion as the only reset option

    This system improves user privacy, reduces support burden, and aligns gaming platforms with modern identity standards used across cloud and enterprise systems.

  3. Permanent usernames create unnecessary identity lock-in for players.

    When a user deletes an account, they permanently lose access to their chosen name, even if they wish to recreate the account. This design is outdated and does not reflect modern identity architecture.

    I propose replacing usernames as root identifiers with internal UUIDs and implementing per‑game identity containers that can be reset independently.

  4. I'm no fan of Reeves or Starmer or the finance companies, but from my own experiences buying #cars on #finance (since 2019) and even inspecting the #accounts of a #dealer in my region which went bust a few years ago I think the Supreme Court's decision was pragmatic - there's still opportunities for #compensation, but anything harsher would result in the finance companies walking away from the market, preventing younger working folk having access to reasonable cars, stalling the adoption of EVs amongst this generation (few could afford to buy even a used one at cash price!) and causing medium size independent dealers (who depend on the finance company to finance their stock) to go out of business (there's already many closures and layoffs as it is!)
