Kongregate, the SF-based game community, has raised $3 million from Jeff Bezos’ Bezos Expeditions. The company, which allows developers to create and distribute their own games, says the funding will allow it to better scale the business and to improve the advertising side of the business.

Developers are paid a percentage of advertising revenue from the site, encouraging their participation. Release.
