Thanks for your feedback! I agree that using such a framework internally and focusing on developing games is definitely an interesting option. OpenFeint looks pretty similar but has a primary focus on highscore and leaderboards, which is a free feature of theirs. I couldn't find out how much they charge for their turn-based multiplayer feature though. We are trying to make a good offer for small developers; for the first developers it looks like < $10 per month with around 150,000 connections. For Android there are also a couple of highscore/leaderboard services such as ScoreLoop and ScoreNinja. We plan to provide interfaces to both and more. Apple's GameCenter (see WWDC Session 404) will be a big "competitor" on the iOS arena, but they probably won't expand to Android or other platforms. We are starting off on Android and see where it goes from here. Flash is an interesting option too. > Looking through your APIs, you currently have solved some basic authentication stuff. That's okay as a start but definitely not enough to attract skilled teams. Yeah, I agree. Right now we have a MVP, and many ideas. > But best luck! I suggest that you talk to experienced game studios. Find out what are the biggest pain points and try to provide solutions to those. Thanks, and I agree this is the best approach right now.
