This is exactly the kind of thing that will kill google plus for me

I like it at the moment as its so clean, simple..its facebook like it used to be before apps.

I have a strong suspicion that first it will be games, then apps in general..and before you know it we have a true facebook clone on the horizon.

I am sure that I will be in the minority with this view, and I do understand that google need to monitise this platform at some point..but still, its dissapointing.

Completely agree. The appeal of google+ is the clean simple approach. Although I don't mind games, but as long as they aren't trying to sell credits so you can progress through them. I hate things like social city, where you have to use real money to buy your way through the game.

Agreed, I don't mind others having the option to play games... I just don't want that spam on my feed.

If G+ integrates Games in the same way they've done it with Sparks I'll be happy. I only see the Sparks I'm interested in when I click on that specific feed so it doesn't intrude on my normal use of G+ and works as a beneficial extra for those that want it.

As long as Google maintain the focus of each user choosing who they share with and what they see I don't mind. The most important thing for me is to be able to do without the extra things without too much hassle, something you can't do on Facebook.
