This would be a great feature if you want to make an Online RPG!
And it would open up so many possibilities!

Eg. Attributes for each players x and y. Then each persons device updates the position all the time.
I would so love to be able to open my games up this way. Right now they are walled gardens, like a private conversation between the game and the player. Just being able to save and load attributes from other player's games would re-make a game into a shared conversation between players. (De facto world building!)
Global leaderboards are probably the most obvious use, but I can think of myriad others.
Like: an essentially single-player RPG, but one in which you are able to buff your friends' characters remotely. (That mechanic has been incredibly effective for Facebook game design, for example.)
Or: a multi-level puzzle game with collaborative progression toward common goals. Consider one in which each player helps to restore a shared planet by playing levels as individuals. Then, after player Alice completes the deforestation level, player Bob would see more trees spawn in his game when he next plays.
