We've reported it to Google, and we're looking into what else we can do.

What does Google have to do with it?

It's an Android account, so it's in their domain

Oh so the user names aren’t just built into the game? It’s funneled through Google Play Services, or something along those lines?

Yes

Gotcha gotcha. Wouldn’t have imagined that.

Yeah, we mirror the aliases used by Game Center, Google Play, and Steam.

If you change them there, they reflect ingame.

And that was just the easiest route for everything involved I’m guessing. If you had names built in, you’d need to make a login of some kind and maintain that?

Yep
