So what I'm hearing is that players should maintain separate identities across platforms. This shouldn't be too difficult since all three major platforms sell gift cards for their online services and stores. They could implement identity verification to combat that, but that would probably be difficult to do without damaging sales to minors.
(Of course, what I'm actually hearing is to not buy into Microsoft product ecosystems or those of any company that considers this, but I can't do that much more than I already am.)

I've been doing this 20 years. It drives my friends nuts that I have different name on every service/site.
This is the exact reason I did it.
