Oh Gamecenter.
The green-felt casino aesthetic wasn't just ugly it was insulting. The new toddler bubbles theme is marginally better.
It's unreliable (it fell down repeatedly when Letterpress launched) and to this day every time I start any game I have to wait at the menu because I know if I start playing before Gamecenter loads it will lag out during gameplay. The turn notifications are all over the place, I get one then start game and where's my turn? Close app, retry, repeat. Maybe one of these times it will be there? The multiplayer model doesn't handle many different kinds of games and methods of combinging players so if you don't use similar mechanics like Letterpress you are often out of luck. Good luck relying on it for anything with more than 2 players -- half the the time it just bombs out. Or disconnects players and then freezes the game for minutes before informing the the other clients. Even basic stuff like Leaderboards went for years without the ability for developers to manage in any respect whatsover -- so every single game had a top 100 of entirely hacked scores and was stuck that way.
