Game Pioneer Service To Be Shown At GDC

Game Pioneer, a new technology for online game-matching, will be shown at Games Developers Conference from March 9 to 11. Game Pioneer is an affordable solution for modern game-matching and offers proven performance using new technologies. Game Pioneer boasts robust server support, an easy-to-use software development kit for licensees, proven performance and a thriving web-based community.
