| I really want to change my username, but I think if I do that the data for all the games I play will be reset. Is this true? |

| Some games track by usernames, other by ids, so some would wipe data, others wouldnt |

I think it will only affect the data persistence of some games. Everything else should be fine.

Yes, your recent forum posts list is reseted since the forums are built in a specific way, in which it tracks the username, and not user ID.

From someone who actually codes this kind of stuff... Here is how it's set up,
There is 2 ways to save/load players stats. 1, By username. 2, By userId. If it's saved by userId then you are 100% safe. If it's by username then if you change your username your data will not be gone, but there will be a new save slot under the new username.
Sadly, you aren't really able to find out what one the creator uses unless you ask him. (Any smart creator will be going off of userId)

| @Norbod That game doesn't even save. And I wouldn't mind if it got taken off of the list. |

| No, it doesn't change your data. No go and make a better name. That's cringey |
