GameCircle Backend Verification

Is there any way to verify that a player is who they say they are, server side? We want to verify this before we give them access to the account linked to that GameCircle account.

Hi, The player info from GameCircle should be trustworthy, and I'm not sure why you'd need to cross-reference that information. Is there any specific concern you're trying to alleviate? Thanks, Nick

In the event that a client spoofs their PlayerId when it is sent to our servers we want to be able to verify that that PlayerId was legitimately obtained on that device.

Well, there's not really any built-in way to detect that, since if the service cannot authenticate the user, it will not give the data about the user. Beyond that, we cannot comment on any specifics. Thanks, Nick
