I just noticed this. I got a message from Race The Sun and when I hovered my mouse over, it was a link directly to the game. I’m just wondering if this has happened before and if it’ll be a more common occurrence?

Besides blocked games (I should hope so) do all games have the ability to message us? Or just badged games? Or games we’ve earned badges in? I don’t have RTS favourited.

I’ve seen Fantasy Online and Dream World do the same notices, usually in private messages but I’ve also seen Dream World post a shout on someones wall before. Not sure about what allows them to or anything like that, so I guess this doesn’t help at all.

This is right in the front page newsfeed, not PMs or shouts.

Edit:

/community showed it better.

For public messages, the games would need to be approved for the Feeds and User Messaging API, where games can post User-to-Feed, User-to-User, and Game-to-User messages.

EDIT I’ve only implemented the Game-To-User message, which looks like this:
