There is a headline post over at Joystiq about this as well!

After a week being the "Gamer Dad," Microsoft's latest column has undergone a name change. Now meet the "Xbox Dad." The change comes after a public outcry from the original Gamer Dad, Andrew S. Bub, who has run GamerDad.com since 2003.

When Microsoft's Gamer Dad column was unveiled, author Brian "Brize" Johnson (author of Xbox 360 for Dummies) explained that Xbox.com's resident "reporter" TriXie had approached him to do the column. The GamerDad.com forums lit up following its publication, leading Bub to declare that "this one is for my lawyer."

Well, that's overly dramatic. I actually said "the lawyer." This makes it sound like my monocle popped out.

I wouldn't go that far. It never should've happened in the first place, especially since their own PR blogging dude recognized that we exist.

HI

Glad it all worked out in the end. And the xbox people did understand that
Andrew is Gamerdad

I, too, welcome Xbox Dad and hope to see great reviews of games for children and families.

Thanks Aries, there's one thing I want clear. Competition doesn't bother me (okay, subpar does) because it really is all about gaming and children with me. But my name is mine.
