Classic gamertags

Classic gamertags supports only ASCII characters a-z, A-Z, 0-9, comma (,), and space (ASCII character 0x20).

String length and buffer size

The classic gamertag is 16 characters long, with a maximum of 15 characters and a null terminator.

Similarly, the maximum size of classic gamertag buffer is 16 bytes, including the space for the null terminator. 15 US-ASCII characters and 1-byte null terminator, equals 16 bytes.

Advantage

There are new titles that still choose to support classic gamertags for its straightforward implementation.
