I mean, it's definitely possible. CC Corp should have all of our real names due to the formal processes involved in getting us all registered for the beta test and mailing us the gear for it. Even if you used a fake name, they'd be able to look up your real name using your mailing address, probably. I wouldn't be surprised if our user data has our real names attached to it on the back end.
But it seems like a weird choice to make to go through the effort of coding that in. I mean, that's against the idea of immersion. Putting aside anything nefarious that'd just be bad game design. Which leaves us only nefarious explanations.
My real name isn't public information. Well...never mind! I'll keep that in mind, and I see what you're saying here.
If it were being used for a nefarious reason, what would you hypothesize that to be? The NPCs that I interacted with were far more concerned about my well-being than wanting to harm me.
Well, if your name isn't public knowledge, them programming it into the game to use at you could honestly be a sorta threat. Especially with the nonsense going on. Sorta like "we have the ability to dig up this dirt on you, so don't cross us."
But then I dunno why it'd target you specifically.
