No, I need to delete it. It's connected to my email, and to "update" the one I use I need to put in my email. It gives me a notice that it's already in use on another account and won't allow me to use it

I completely agree with you.
If Apple wanted the iPad to really be useful, they would let you customize it as you see fit and not "force" it on you the way they want. Unfortunately, there are plenty of Apple fans who can find no fault with the company or its products and those are the responses you'll get here.
Game center is a marketing ploy pure and simple. While some may like it, the rest of us don't. It would be simple to allow you to turn it off but that would make it tougher to collect all your valuable information.
It reminds me of when they changed the rotate lock to mute only...after enough complaints they put it back. Hopefully there will be enough complaints. Just google your question and you'll see you are not alone. Sigh...
Just login to it and it shouldnt pop up again because the reason it pops up is only to get you to sign up or login.. if you dont care abou comparing your scores just dont go on game center
I simply cannot believe that people allow their kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews, cousins, siblings, friends or whomever to play with their iPads. This is just ludicrous to me and I continue to read on a daily basis of some expensive mishap because of this foolishness, within this forum.
I cannot believe that there are people that DON'T ALLOW "their kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews, cousins, siblings, friends or whomever to play with their iPads". That's a computer only, not too good an object of emotional affection. Errors happen to everyone, especially if the design supports the errors. Apple is interested in just one element here - that people pay, pay, and pay. If expensive mishap happens "on the daily basis" it is just a sign of conscious design by Apple in background - cash flow is everything here. What about user experience? There will be allways Apple fanatics - like yourselves - who will say that its users' own fault if they did anything incorrect (e.g. not tightening default security settings) - and that Apple cannot be blamed for anything.
Are you also surprised when people don't let their children play with their cars? Their chain saws?
