What is the reasoning behind not including google plays services on google glass ?
Will they be added in the future ?
It would appear that Google Play Services on Glass will be added in the future. There is an issue that has been "accepted", though with medium priority (see issue 176 here from the official Google Glass issue site.

I have a google play app, linked to a google play game services project. However, I believe I accidentally deleted the google play game services project from the google developer console, so now it shows up in google play developer console, but not in the google developer console. In the google play developer console, in the game services project, I'm constantly getting
An unexpected error occurred. Please try again later. (1700404)
(I'm assuming this is because the underlying developer console project was deleted). Well, now it's really screwed up because I can't add a new game services project, but the current one isn't going to work. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
I recommend that you start again from the beginning with a new app in the Google Play Developer Console (i.e. use a different apk name). Do not make changes to Google Play Game Services apps in the developer console (if indeed that is its current name) unless specifically instructed to do so by a reliable source (e.g. a google guide).
You will find many tales of woe on Stack Overflow concerning problems arising from making changes in the developer console to Google Play Game Services apps. e.g :
Google Play Game Services - unable to sign in
Was wondering whether Google publish the installed versions of Google Play Services anywhere. https://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/index.html has some nice stats on installed android versions, but nothing on Google Play Services stats.
There is no official documentation as such from Google regarding the statistics of Google Play Services but there is a lot going in the market. Have a look at the articles below, they will give you a better insight about the popularity of Google Play Services since the time they are released. They are interesting and worth reading!!

In Google Analytics SDK v2 for Android there is a section of known issues stating that:
"Google Play Campaign Measurement does not currently support web-to-device installs initiated from the web Play Store"
On the documentation of v4 the known issues section is missing and same goes for v3.
Does anyone knows if the problem with the web-to-device measurements was solved in v3 or v4?
From what I read in different places the problem is that the "INSTALL_REFERRER" is not broadcast by the system when the application was installed from the desktop-web play store.
Thanks,

Where can I submit a bug report for Google Play services? I tried to search but I didn't find anything specific. The only site I found is official Android tracker but it doesn't seem to be the right place.

I have released a game that uses Google Game Services on Google Play. Everything works, but when I look on my game in Google Play it doesn't show that it's using Game Services. Some other games do (like Riptide GP for instance). What is controlling this?
Implementing the Google Play Game Services features is not sufficient, your users have to use the service for you to get the badges.
Let me quote from this video from Google I/O 2013: Practical Android Games Development
http://youtu.be/ZbQWf7C5ymU?t=23m39s
"As you get more users you will get badges. [...] However, they are not just given out because you put them in the config, and we don't snoop your APK to see if you are making API calls from there. We verify how much the feature is being used and if you meet certain threshold we give you a badge. So you need to actually integrate it, it is not a token thing that you can put there to get more eyeballs in the store."
