I'm shocked and surprised! How is that possible? after all this was going to be yet another amazing google product built by bunch of smart people that made it through 12 rounds of interview process. To paraphrase, "people with no imaginations hire people with no imagination" :)
- dragonwriter 13y agoAll shutting down Google+ Games means is that the integration of web games with the Google+ UI is going away in favor of piecemeal integration. Google+ Games is essentially the old Facebook model that even Facebook-linked games are using less, the new model (supported by Google Play Game Services, Google+ SSO, the Google+ Moments API, etc.) is of games (quite often native mobile games rather than web games) that interact with a support platform through a sign-on API, cloud services that provide saves/multiplayer toos/leaderboards/acheivements, and systems that allow integration with social network news feeds.
- tarkin2 13y agoThis actually makes sense. The Google play services do seem to offer more. But do I trust Google's services (especially ones that are open, although I doubt this is or was the case with games) anymore? No. I trust them about as much as I trust any company's services. I just didn't think Google were any company, until recently.
