I think Sony at one point stated that changing names would be impossible without major infrastructure changes. That makes me think they used the onlineId as the primary key for users and maybe used that as the foreign key for the friends list and other shit. Although I'm sure if they're planning on making this feature available they would've already solved the problem.

Yeah, no doubt each user has some sort of ID, I only see games and the like having to make some changes, but no doubt Sony would overlook something as big as the whole "friends" concept

pretty sure if you changed your online id it would fuck with all your saves as your name is linked to them

it won't fuck with anything if they have been working on it since 2014 an plus its not the Gamertag its the email that is mainly connected to it because with out the email you have no name under it like when you wanna transfer your data to a friends console you sign in with your email not your gamer tag

Sure this can be fixed with a software update to use new save formats then
