Differences between Facebook SDK and Google Play Game Services [closed]

I would like some indication, comment, on both tools to create Android games that seek to connect to social networks. The main one I already know, one connects to Facebook, another to Google play user and G +.

But I wanted more information to choose one of the tools or even to use both.

The game consists of a Quiz, where there must be a ranking, the platforms must offer service to save the last state of the game (phase) and total scores and the player can publish some information on your social network. These are the main requirements.

I believe that the biggest difference between the two is the type of user you want to target, and this is very different from the type of game you intend to develop. Google Play Games does not have all the reach that facebook has today, but if the game will run on a device with Android operating system, it is certainly a good choice to have an integration with Google Games and G +, as this also generates ranking in google play store. But where does facebook come in? Share the score or badges on the user's timeline? I think the question still needs to be more specific.

I believe that as it will be developed for Android, both can be used.

But, you have to understand that facebook is just a social network, not a library for games. Therefore, it is not an object directly comparable to Google's libraries, since the latter provides exclusive calls for ranking, punctuation, etc.

As you plan to use the gaming tools, G + is a must have. But that does not prevent the results and progress can not be disclosed on Facebook.

If you have to choose between one of them. Go Google! You can be sure that the Android user has a G + account in device , which will help retain users.
