Why do some games ask for calling/SMS permissions? More and more Android apps (games to be specific) require permissions to make calls. Some of them also require permission to send SMS, read bookmarks, history, etc. What is the explanation for this? I mean, why would a game need to have those permissions?

If it is some software which provides anti-theft support or a voice/video app or something I understand, but games? Is there some logic which I am missing or are the game developers asking too much?
Generally they don't. Most games don't need SMS or Phone Call permissions, and you should be suspect for any game that does.

I'm assuming this is not the same as "Read Phone State &amp; Identity" which this question answers.
