Game Room full of cobwebs?

Anyone else playing games in XBLA's Game Room and finding that their friends list is completely devoid of anyone else who's given the service a try?   I've been putting some time in with it this week and finding that there is actually a lot of good stuff going on there, with the challenge system and free trials and all of that.  Having been slightly too young to get in on the arcade scene here in America during the 80's, Game Room seems like a pretty great way to experience these games.
 
But part of that draw to me is the challenge system and friend leaderboards.  That constant strive to beat out your friends' latest scores is something missing from a lot of modern games, and I think what Microsoft put together is a pretty slick interface for doing so.  So how can it be that of my 40 or so friends no one has picked up a single game?  I mean I couldn't even grab the achievement for playing a game in a friend's arcade because there was literally no one who bought one!  It kind of makes me nervous for the service, since if the games aren't selling well at all, it leaves Microsoft with little incentive to produce more content.
 
Then again, maybe people really just don't like Jungler that much.  I sure friggin' do!
 
So is anyone else having this problem?
