Oncade, a Web3-native game distribution platform, has raised $4 million in a funding round led by Andreessen Horowitz's crypto-focused fund, a16zcrypto. The platform aims to transform the gaming industry by enabling studios to sell games directly to consumers, bypassing traditional app stores and eliminating high platform fees. This direct-to-consumer model also empowers gaming communities to drive sales. The funding comes amid a broader industry shift driven by AI tools and vibe coding platforms that are democratizing game development. Additionally, related developments in the gaming sector include Bitkraft's increased focus on Web3 games and Ayzenberg Group's efforts to accelerate game company growth through enhanced marketing strategies.
