Is Game Center limited to 500 friends?
Rene Ritchie at TiPb recently noticed that Apple's new Game Center seems to be capped at 500 friends, which another user was able to confirm.
After receiving 500 friend requests*, Rene noticed they stopped coming in. He figured that was the end until he saw a tweet from fellow Game Center user MuscleNerd:
"So much for my not-so-secret plan to break GameCenter! They're capping my friend count at 500 (as soon as I delete 1, I get 1 new request)."
After some testing, Rene confirmed the same thing. As soon as one request was deleted, another popped up. So, if you've got a lot of requests waiting beyond 500, you won't see them. As Rene correctly points out, most people won't have this problem as 500 is a heck of a lot of friends. Still, it's something to keep in mind lest would-be friend number 502 thinks he's being ignored.
