Hamburg-based Minit Games has secured €1.7 million in pre-seed funding led by LVP and Sony Innovation Fund to build an AI-driven feed for instant-play HTML5 games. The platform addresses a critical discoverability crisis where the top 1% of publishers capture 92% of mobile gaming revenue, removing the friction between discovery and gameplay that traditional app stores impose. This reflects a broader €12 million investment wave across European gaming discovery startups including Hoora and Reality Games, signaling that feed-based consumption is finally disrupting the $190 billion gaming industry. Sony's strategic participation suggests major platforms are betting on AI-powered recommendation systems to compete with TikTok's 1.59 billion users who increasingly dominate attention economics. The convergence of social media paradigms with interactive entertainment will likely democratize game distribution and reshape how indie developers reach audiences. 🎮
