Get username from user ID

Feature Requests Engine Features
#1

As a developer it’s currently impossible or impractical to get a user’s username from their user ID.

I want to do this so I can correctly give credit to users who contribute to my game without ending up using an outdated username that they no longer use after N years. I just want to be able to use their user ID and have the engine convert that to their username.

I will not use a proxy for this. Using a proxy is never the solution.

This is already possible.
