In case anyone else is curious, you can't actually play any games unless you have the Facebook Apps Platform enabled, and you can't play any games unless you share public profile info.

What I can't figure out is who these game developers are and what they do with that info (beyond displaying my name in multiplayer games). Can it be used to build remarketing lists, etc?

My game is there, and we don't have the Facebook stuff enabled so it doesn't ask for permission when it launches.

But of course, instead we ask you to make a custom account for our game so you can log in and out on different platforms.
