GREE to shut down OpenFeint on December 14

Mobile-social gaming powerhouse GREE revealed last Friday that it will shut down the servers for OpenFeint, a social networking platform for mobile it acquired last year.

Developers were given less than a months notice that the social service would be shutting down on December 14 or slightly later. Basically, developers will have to remove any OpenFeint APIs in their games so there’s “no service disruptions or poor player experience.” All data stored on OpenFeint’s services will be lost if its not migrated.
