Wooga and Popcap Pull Games from Google+

Some bad news for Google's emerging social network. Two major publishers of online games, Electronic Arts' Popcap division and Germany's Wooga, have announced that they are going to pull their games from Google+. The games have only been live on the network for less than a year but have been under-performing. This comes as a surprise when you consider that EA's Bejeweled Blitz is one of the games being pulled - that title is a success on nearly every platform it touches.
