Xbox.com drops Avatar star system

xboxcomgold

Xbox.com no longer shows stars next to Avatars, instead showing a crown and "Gold Member". Assuming you're a gold member, obviosly.

Silver members have an ad next to their GamerTags saying, "Get Gold Today!" Subtle.

Ditch the stars, Microsoft. No one cares.

Thanks, Evil Avatar.

Patrick Garratt

Founder & Publisher (Former)

Patrick Garratt is a games media legend - and not just by reputation. He was named as such in the UK's 'Games Media Awards', the equivalent of a lifetime achievement award. After garnering experience on countless gaming magazines, he joined Eurogamer and later split from that brand to create VG247, putting the site on the map with fast, 24-hour a day coverage, and assembling the site's earliest editorial teams. He retired from VG247, and the games industry, in 2017.
