FRIEND_ID being case insensitive might be problematic #5184

Oftentimes, usernames or IDs in a game are case sensitive. Limiting IDs to being case-insensitive will cause problems to gamers with specific usernames/IDs, hence I believe this feature could have been improved to allowing case sensitive IDs.

Team's Response

Result

We are rejecting this bug.

Rationale

We designed the FRIEND_ID to be a unique identifier for use within the application and unrelated to game usernames. As such it would not make sense to make it case-insensitive.
