A Match Made in (Algorithmic) Heaven

Online experiences are molded and scaffolded by the platforms available to users. These social outcomes hold great power over the performance of certain applications or products, and in this case, video games.

The100.io affords an online space free of initial judgment or selection criteria for the user.
