The newest feature to Google Play Games is one that was a long time coming. Currently, if you want to play a game through this service then you have to do so with Google+ integration. However, this is now over because the company has decided to break away from this when using Google Play Games. Now, when you play a game with this service you will be prompted to create a Gamer ID. Any gamers that regularly play PC games, iOS games and console games are familiar with this concept. It now seems as if Google wants to get in on the fun, and they certainly have.
FIRST REASON: THE GAMER ID
Although this is not going to improve the games themselves, adding the Gamer ID feature will enhance the overall experience. This is a universal ID, and it can be tied in with every single game that you play. You will be able to upload an Avatar of your choosing, and every time you download a game you will be automatically signed in. Also, you can choose to tie this Gamer ID in with your real identity, if you desire to. I can’t express how convenient this is, especially if you play a lot of games in Google Play Games.
SECOND REASON: PLAYING THROUGH GOOGLE+ WAS ANNOYING
Before this new sign-in process was revealed, gamers had to deal with the annoying presence of Google+. With this gamers had to give or deny permissions with every new game they downloaded. Now, just imagine how annoying this could get if you download several hundred games. Not only this but you will no longer have to worry about annoying the people on your circles with your constant gaming activity. This new process can be expected to be rolled out over the next several weeks, and the gaming world certainly can’t wait.
