Helldivers 2 players are learning the hard way that you can’t change your name

When you’re picking a name for yourself in a video game, it’s not unusual to change your mind afterward. But while most titles offer a way to rectify your naming mistakes, that apparently isn’t the case for Helldivers 2—and players are learning about the restriction the hard way.

A Helldivers 2 player’s hilarious Reddit post on March 5 is a scary reminder for those who love picking odd in-game names thinking they can change them later. The player chose an unfortunately crude (and NSFW) combination of words for their name, and now they’re stuck with it indefinitely, since Arrowhead Game Studios doesn’t provide any means to edit names—at least for now.
