I feel like famous people should have to just use their real names instead of having control over specific usernames.
Comment on Hytale is sending out emails which allow people to register and reserve usernames

I used to use a username, for like 10+ years, but had a “personality” use the same name and become popular. That was before Twitch blew up, so I can’t imagine it is any less common now. I saw in the Hytale FAQ that they will claw back names that popular users use. I get it, but also it is strange. I guess that is the world today, everyone wants to be a brand.

yeah I’ve had my nickname that I turned into a username used by a vtuber so people kept thinking I was referencing her instead :/ no I’ve just grown up with the name, but now I can’t even use it
