“While we await Microsoft’s version of their multiplayer services (Switchboard) to come to Windows Phone, other third-party options are becoming available. One in particular, Exit Game’s Photon Cloud Networks has announced a new SDK for their multiplayer services for use on the Windows Phone platform.
