Description
Gets the current user name from the operating system.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • This is the OS account name, not the player's in-game display name or a platform online-service username (e.g. not a Steam/PSN/Xbox Live gamertag).
- • Can reveal personally identifiable information — avoid sending it to telemetry/analytics without user consent.
- • On consoles this typically returns a generic or empty string rather than a meaningful OS user name.
