Did I just get dissed by Tycho?

So i'm on XBox live enjoying a thoroughly anarchy-laden match of Grand Theft Auto, and I notice that I have Tycho X in my recent players list. I asked him to a private chat which he accepted, and timidly asked "How did you get your name as your gamer pic?" Which was displayed as an almost kanji styled "Tycho X". Some short story or another filled up his bio, so I was kind of under the impression it was him. As a fan and monetary supporter (Bought the game, donated to Child's Play) I just wanted to know if it was him and say Hi.




Instead, he blows me off and leaves the chat.


Is that Tycho Brahe behind the Gamertag Tycho X? If so... I feel sad and disillusioned.

    I know this gets said every time, but:


    Gabe and Tycho don't read the forums, you're probably better off sending them an email. :)

    Aye, they don't read the forums

    Also, I doubt it was him. Tycho would probably off himself before putting an X in his name.

    I was just wondering if some other fans could verify whether Tycho plays as "Tycho X" or if it was just some random dude acting like a jerk.


    I really hope that wasnt the real Tycho.

    I also highly doubt that Tycho goes as "Tycho X".

    That said, I'm sure both of them get asked questions like this all the time. So even if it were him, I wouldn't take ditching chat personally. Having met them in real life (ping pong competition), they really are great guys.

    Additionally, if Tycho X is indeed some random dude, he/she probably gets asked "Are you Tycho from PA?" all the time as well, and ignoring those questions is probably very common too.

    It almost certainly was not him. He had his gamertag in the newspost once and there wasn't an X at the end.

    If you did, so what? I mean in the universal sense. It's not like he'd be obligated to be polite in his free time.

    And I don't think we have any forum where it would be appropriate to chat about this anyway.

    Lastly, I don't think that was him.
