“Every game we have made is built around its lovable, collectible characters. We’ll be using this funding to double down on our core mission – to become the next household name in gaming through a multi-platform, multichannel approach,” said Mino Games CEO and co-founder Sasha MacKinnon. “Web3 allows us to work directly with our community to design new gaming experiences that we didn’t think were possible just a few years ago. We’re sparing no expense in building this ambitious franchise, and we think the fast-growing Web3 gaming community will love it. Expect Dimensionals to take everything we’ve done up a notch.”

It’s not uncommon for game developers to pay up to 80% of their revenues as platform tax and user acquisition costs to big tech companies. MacKinnon believes that the revenue belongs to game developers, content creators, and gamers. The company aims to leverage Web3 to build a direct relationship between developer and community, and fundamentally reshape distribution in the market.
