Social.localUser.userName == "Lerpz"
Following the instructions on the Play Game Services page (https://github.com/playgameservices/play-games-plugin-for-unity), I always get a user named Lerpz after authenticating. How do I authenticate a legitimate user instead of the default?

You need to activate the Google Play Platform with
PlayGamesPlatform.Activate(); //Call it in Start() or Awake()
And I had actually tried that, but was looking in the wrong namespace for that class. For anyone who happens upon this question, PlayGamesPlatform is in the GooglePlayGames namespace.
