- Why does the same player show up as two separate entities?
- How does GRID map player identities across accounts?
🖥️ Environment/Context
- All GRID products
👌 Resolution/Answer
- GRID assigns each player a unique player ID and links multiple game accounts to a single identity automatically.
- Some accounts are too different for GRID to map. When that happens, a player can appear as two separate entities in the data.
- GRID tries to catch such instances, but some variability is unfortunately unavoidable.
- Clients should be aware of this and may need to handle the additional mapping on their end for specific cases.
