GameStop establishes $10 million mobile game fund

GameStop’s mobile platform, Kongregate, now has a $10 million fund to help independent developers in the free-to-play mobile arena. The fund will be managed by former Zynga general manager Panayoti “Pany” Haritatos, who will lead Kongregate’s in-house game development along with the Kongregate mobile games unit.

The Kongregate Mobile Developers program plans to offer assistance in three areas: a cash advance to cover final costs of games in development, monetization consulting to help performance and promotion on Kongregate.
