According to Crunchbase, there are more than 7000 Games companies. All, or nearly all, games have backend services (also called shared services, or central services). These backend services include aspects of the player experience such as Authorization, Matchmaking, Leaderboards, Friends/Social. These services are also points of failure during gameplay and contain sources of hidden latency. Finding these problematic collisions is the perfect job for high cardinality querying!
