# Neon (Game Payments)

> Payments and merchant-of-record platform helping game studios operate direct-to-consumer webshops; Speedrun SR001 alumnus backed by a $14M financing.

## Why it is interesting

Neon addresses a concrete gaming monetization shift away from platform-exclusive in-app transactions. GamesBeat and Renegade Partners reported a $14M financing in November 2024, and the official Speedrun profile says some partner studios generate 15–35% of total revenue directly through Neon-enabled commerce. That share is company-reported and not a universal performance guarantee.
