Do I HAVE to create a google+ public profile?

[domtrump]

Absolutely new to Galaxy Tab 4 and Android. I tapped an icon called "Play Games" and I get a screen that wants me to create a "public Google+ profile." What is this any why do I need it? It does not give me an option to proceed without creating one. I do not want any personal information made public. Why is Google FORCING me to put my full name out on a public profile just to play games?

Can someone please explain this to me as I seem to be missing something. Is there some way to use this device WITHOUT making anything about me "public?"

Thank you.

Dom

The Play Games link isn't where you download games. The Play Store is for that. So no, you shouldn't have to create a Google profile for games.

Thank you for the answer and the explanation of the google+ profile. I think I will like this forum!
