I experienced the same issue in (PlayCover 2.0.2) another game-center-enabled game. Game Center doesn't work (which is fine for me). But the pop up (every time window is focused) is quite annoying. It's appreciated if this can be fixed.

I'm also wishing something could be done about this. I don't think anyone expects Game Center to work, we're just wondering if it's possible to prevent the window from opening. I'm new to macOS, but am wondering if it'd be possible to automate something if it can't be addressed in PlayCover.

@treyturner Technically, yes!
You can make a shell script with a while loop that kill gamed every 5-10s
The issues is that Apple themselves no longer read the Disabled key in the Defaults database for Game Center, and you can't unload the service due to SIP
But since it's running as your user, not system, you can just kill it repeatedly
