CONSIDERATIONS

• Games in general, including current mobile games have either ONE singular (one 'in-game' internal registration system and player database lookup) or multiple 3rd-party login options (Game Center, Google Play, Facebook i.a.) that remain an exclusive login option afterwards.

• Consider ACCOUNT PERSISTENCE (keeping stat histories such as K/Ds, unlocks, skins or weapons OR worst-case reconnections during dropped games, etc.) between devices of all types.

• Systems like Game Center are exclusive to iOS devices (iOS to iOS accounts retain account persistence) much like Google Play remains exclusive to Android devices (and thus also retain account persistence exclusively to each operating system or device family).

• Game-specific in-app user registration and login systems more often than not CAN be logged in from ANY iOS or Android device at anytime without the need to create an alternate account (you are able to login to your 'main' from anywhere).

• Social media logins (i.e. Facebook) are connected to personal or professional social media accounts (some games do have account persistence using this registration/login type).

• Consider your login preferences during a worst-case scenario of disconnecting during a LIVE/LAN tournament or match in which admins or referees will likely have to validate your login (if you need to quickly access the game with a second device with a different OS) in which account persistence may not match—the game may not have a PAUSE function.

• Consider that many competitive mobile games have matches between 2 to 25 minutes in length and in many cases these games may need to retain your current in-match statistics to produce more fair scoreboard results (score, kills, crowns, etc.) in which your re-login or reconnect to a live match is of the utmost importance.

• If you own and game on multiple devices, this poll relates to your real-world scenario!
