    Twitter integration was incredibly ubiquitous in all social based tech for some reason. I’m assuming its API was originally very friendly and unintrusive and now it’s probably the exact opposite. I think X is now also charging money, which is likely the primary reason Sony and Nintendo are dropping it.
