A case of one company fits all needs gone horribly wrong. That well might be, but the thing is my backup iPhone still has 7.1.5 installed, and google account still works fine there (I can't participate in WTTT or Multiplayer of course) can communicate with the team that way.

And I never even activated G+ on that dummy account .....

I think all the options: FB, Weibo, G/G+, Apple's Game Center - all were just a means to indentify you, but FM didn't use their services to store backups or anything else related to your profile, meaning they can contimue using @gmail.com identifiers even if Google shitdown Gmail completely ....
