When did we get GameCenter? I don't remember that being part of any lists?
It's cool, but a little heads up would be fantastic.

Markus, GameCenter is a MUST-HAVE for iOS games. Without gamecenter your game will have little success on the app store.

If you want to make multiple platform compatible games, just don't use it, but let others who want to use AppGameKit exclusively to do IOS games have this option!

There are some gamecenter commands in the latest 108 beta, but there is no help on these commands and how to set these up, and i have no idea if these are just placeholders of if they actually work

The commands were added a while ago as place holders but have only just been filled out (will be released with 108). We wanted to use them in a tier 1 app so that's why they appeared. Unfortunately they are heavily tied to the app bundleID used by Apple for your app so the commands won't work until you compile with XCode and add leaderboards in iTunes connect for your app.
