Apple should buy one or the other of OpenFeint or Plus+ and make it the official system. I don't care which, just don't call it Plus+! What a terrible name.

I have games that use Agon, Open Feint, Plus+ and of course those utilizing private servers. I don't think I've ever noticed any bugs or anything bad about any of these "social networks" as stated by some.

If I had to pick one "favorite", I guess it would be Open Feint, as it has the largest abundance of games that utilize it, making it nice when playing one game I can check leaderboards etc. For at least 50% of the games I play.

Apple would be not only slow about development but now require even more before an app gets approved. Also when there is a bug Apple would be stupid slow about fixing it, unless it caused Apple to lose control somehow, then they would be on it faster than a fat kid on cake.

I think I might be the only one, but I really wish that Apple would jump in and present a unified solution for everyone…

somehow i don't think i'm the only one who doesn't care about openfeint or other online scoreboards and whatnot. just include the content IN the game, please. i hate having to turn on WiFi on my touch to go download other things.

Awesome!! Hopefully 'Select Titles' turns into 'All Titles'!

I love OpenFeint!

The latest release of OpenFeint actually feels really tight. It's not laggy, it looks good and it adds some cool features. I don't see why you what you've got against it.

I don't see the problem. I like Open Feint. I like Plus+ (And Agon, Scoreloop, Geocade) They're similar but different and enhance gameplay if you are one into leaderboards, etc. I don't do the Facebook or Twitter and integration of these options never bothered me. Disabling Open Feint is as easy as tapping "no." Stop making a big deal out of nothing if it bothers you.

I've got to agree about OpenFeint sucking hard. I much prefer Plus+.

Not sure if its the OF interface that causes the slowdown and random crashing or if its their shitty server architecture? Hopefully it will improve..
