So...your PSN name sucks, huh? Maybe you chose a name like "Player45673" or "CheeksInTheAIR". Perhaps you chose one of the 2 million weed-related names, like, "420-Blazer" or something super cool like "DankNugZ420420". It's ok. A lot of people did that. I ran into a guy named "NOWiPooP" Actually, that name was kind of funny. Regardless, Sony hasn't budged on the chance to change your poorly chosen handle. No matter how many much, much cooler names you've thought up since then, you've been stuck your PSN birth-name.
Until now.
Maybe.
A recent interview with Shawn Layden at Playstation Experience said that he hoped to implement the option to change your PSN name by next year, saying that the "technical solutions are more complex then you'd think" in regards to the long time frame. Layden also said, as far back as 2014, that Sony had to "take steps to prevent griefing. It didn't want trolls to cause havoc in one game, change their name and promptly ruin someone else's play session. There's also the matter of making sure that all your friends see the change."
We'll see if the change actually happens, as you can see, they've been talking about this forever. I'll keep you updated when I hear more, but for now, "Skullsmasha916", you are stuck with it.
