In-games commerce firm Live Gamer has raised $2.8 million in funding, according to an SEC filing. The company is calling it “side-car” financing that came in prior to its acquisition of Twofish; the money came from a mix of previous backers and new investors—though Live Gamer declined to give specifics.
