I really enjoy the Pips game, but it doesn't appear on the games page in my (Android) NY Times app. I'm a subscriber, and the app is up to date. I can get to it by searching for the article announcing it a few months back, and then clicking through from there, and it works just fine.

Presumably it's there in the separate NYT Games app, but I'd rather not install a separate app.

Does anyone know why they exclude it from the regular games section? I realize this is the silliest of all first-world problems, but still: Why?

It's in the separate Games app. I believe Pips isn't a "full" member of the games section yet (it has no archive, leaderboard or achievement badges), which is probably why they're not including it.

I'm sure you're right, but (at least) the Sports Connections is in that state (and worse: it sometimes loses progress if you close and re-open it), and it's a "full" member. Weird!
