This way it will lead to real-time invitations to play games.
Besides the social aspect, Game Center Apple is moving towards a easier multiplayer game. By comparing scores or profiles, the system helps us find related games (and therefore new potential revenue for developers and Apple) with of course players of our level, giving priority to friends on our list, or players around the globe as well.
