>Features =/= Crapware

"Feature" is just semantics, then.

I'll take a pizza ad over Game Center opening up and asking me to make an account every time I play a game, thanks. But unlike the Apple die-hards, I can admit that both a utter crap.



Actually I think that post-Game Center games are much better behaved. Remember what it used to be like to OpenFeint and whatever the other one was that I don't remember the name of? That was far more obtrusive before Apple put in their own version and everyone started using that instead.

I totally agree and Google's forced G+ integration with the newer G+ Games services is very frustarting too.

No G+ I do not want your crappy me-too social network attached to my gaming apps.

But as is generally the case, I imagine people will hate Apple and love Google for doing the same business practice...
