    Interesting read, A lot of popular games also use open feint such as fruit ninja so I guess they have a lot of work to do. But all in all it's just the nature of business, somewhere along the line one of your contacts are going to drop out and your left there standing alone to fight for yourself and it's up to you whether or not you fall.

    This just means that a lot of games are going to be "empty games" on the app store and may even be taken off by the delevoper which means the app store is just doing some spring cleaning.

    But I haven't used open fient for a long time because most are based on Facebook or gameceter.

    Wow... I remember pre-OS4.0 when the Openfeint craze was at its peak, everyone wanted it incorporated into their games.

    @Ebreeze Yeah I heard that too, I mean I have heaps of zynga games that I pay for, for my travels, they are fun to play but really greedy, and I think a lot People start to notice that and word gets around. But I heard they ate ending a lot of games and stopped funding on the ville series.
